On this research I learned that you have to take some steps то improve starting to recycle.
1. Set a Recycling Goal.
A national survey of 264 communities found that those who set a recycling goal were more successful. Why? Goals give residents a target to aim for; they let residents see the peak of the summit rather than hiking blindly up into the clouds. Make sure your initial goal is attainable. If your recycling rate is 6% and has been 6% for the last 10 years, instead of shooting immediately for 10% consider setting the goal initially at 8%.
2. Focus on Schools.
Considering how we manage our resources and waste today will affect our children’s future, it makes perfect sense to include children in your recycling efforts. Also, if the children recycle on their school campus, they will always remember that it is very important to recycle. So they will continue doing it in the future.
3. Know what you can and can't recycle.
Read up on the recycling rules for your area and make sure you don't send anything in that can't be processed. Each city has its own specifics, so try to follow those guidelines as best you can.
4. Buy recycled.
The essence of recycling is the cyclical movement of materials through the system, eliminating waste and the need to extract more virgin materials. Supporting recycling means feeding this loop by not only recycling, but also supporting recycled products.
This research tells that recycling is not just throwing things in the recycle bin, it can be more complicated and take more steps or time. But at the end of the day you'll be successful at improving recycling in your community. But to reach your goal you have to work hard. You also have to make other people realize that recycling saves a lot of energy and production time.
