Bins With Holes Are Better

by David Allen on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Recycling bins placed in public places are a good idea, but are they effective enough? Some experts feel that this is not so and more could be done to make the use of recycling bins easier and therefore better for the community.

 

 

It has been found that instead of having a lid; recycling bins with holes are much more effective and prevent the placing of other waste being mixed in with metal, glass and paper. Just by making a round hole for cans and a slot for paper etc increases the amount of recycling by up to thirty four per cent that according to Sean Duffy, an associate professor of psychology at Rutgers University.

    Hi. I am a science teacher at Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. I am the teacher in charge of the science club. The club's students are interested in putting recycling bins in every classroom(25 classrooms)but they are costly. Any suggestion on how can we get free recycling bins? we are interested in recycling plastics and aluminum cans. Thanks.
