Will Hendrix __Will's MSW Project__ Section 4

Intro: My group is researching the recycling on the athletic fields specifically the tennis courts and lacrosse fields. We are seeing if we place a recycling bin next to the trash bin, will change the amount of recyclables thrown away.

Materials: Safety Processions: Groups: Control Group: Recycling Bins Experimental Group: The amount of trashed recyclables Independent Variable: Trash Cans (before the recycling bins) Dependent Variable: Trash Cans (after recycling bins)
 * 4 trash cans
 * 3 trash bags
 * tape
 * signs to go on recycling bins
 * getting sick from biological waste (guideline #29)
 * 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 14, 17, 18, 23, 26, 45, 53

Conclusion: My hypothesis was supported because putting a recycling bin next to the trash cans did reduce the recyclables put in the trash cans. Some problems my group had was some recycling bins were not used this was an experimental error. I think that more people will use the recycling bins if they are in a convient spot which is next to a trash can
