Abstract

At Central Washington University, there is a lot of disconnect and miscommunication about recycling and composting on campus. Recycling has a lot of issues on campus in terms of how students recycle and how much students are able to recycle on campus. Besides the larger bins by the academic and housing buildings, there are smaller bins that only take cans and plastic bottles. With the lack of recycling all around to being majority of the areas of high traffic on campus, and it is an inconvenience on campus. The research was taken on getting survey information, GIS data points of recycling locations, and taking statistical and quantitative data on all of the geographical data taken.
