Methods of Monitoring Selected the following locations of recycling bins on campus: Maybank: steel bins located inside between the 2 front doors Stern Center: 1st floor blue bins located to left of the front desk Library: 1st floor blue bins on the right side of the main circulation desk Outside: Black containers behind the Library Black containers in front of Maybank in Cougar Mall Containers behind City Bistro (can/aluminum&glass/plastic) We agreed upon a scale in order to note the bins according to their fullness (empty, , , , full) Each member was to sign up for 15 time slots (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) over the course of 7 days to record recycling data in these areas Recorded our data online (to avoid using paper, of course!) through spreadsheets on Google Docs.
