Recycling Routine

How do you get a household or team to sort metal correctly?

Short answer: Make the right behaviour the easy one by placing bins where the waste is created, labelling them clearly with pictures, keeping the number of categories small, explaining the reason in a sentence and giving feedback on how much was collected, because people sort well when it is simple and they can see that it matters.

Place bins well

A bin in the right spot gets used far more than one that needs a trip.

Keep it simple

Two or three categories are much easier to follow than six.

Telling people how much was collected and what it earned encourages them to keep going.
