At Madison high school, we've made it our mission to implement sustainability into our daily campus life. The engineering students launched a recycling initiative!

Is it working? Data Monitoring

Actions:


While working on our improved recycling bins, we surveyed students and made a push to encourage participation across campus. (View the images above, titled "Details for each step").

We began conversations across campus just before winter break, December 18th, 2023.

Upon returning from break, we saw increased student engagement with recycling, as seen in the following figures







Evidence:


Recycling is collected from 8 blue bins on campus daily by the Circle of Friends club. Once there is enough recycling to bring to the recycling center, a trip is made. Data was obtained from club records, where dates, weight, and payment were recorded.


Figure 1 demonstrates the magnitude of change in recycling participation.


Figure 2 shows the average weight (lbs) and income ($) of recycling collected per week.
