Despite providing a wide variety of recycling education and outreach materials, the citywide recycling error rate remains fairly consistent, which has both environmental and financial consequences for the community. To better understand how residents currently access recycling information and how they would like to receive it in the future, the Madison Streets Division worked with a student intern to develop a community survey and questionnaire to be distributed over the summer.
Designing resident outreach strategies improve recycling understanding and reduce error rates
