Individual students in this course each produced a capstone
report for their master’s degree that was focused on Apache Junction’s
current solid waste management system. Each chose different
investigative approaches, such as surveying residents or comparing
practices of peer cities. Based on their research methods, the students
generated their own findings and recommendations. Among these were:
1) discontinuing Free Dump Week, 2) joining another city in contracting
a solid waste provider for mandatory weekly pickup, and 3) implementing
a pay-as-you-throw solid waste service. An additional element that was
prioritized was recycling
