8+Science+4+Will+D's+MSW+Project

====Introduction: A couple of weeks ago, my science teacher gave us a project to complete. We had been learning about MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) and this project was how we could help lower it. My hypothisis was if we place a recyling bin in an ineffective then less people will use it because they are to lazy. But if we placed the bins close together people will use them more. We tested this in our experiment and it was a sucsess.==== Hypothesis If we place a recyling bin in an ineffective then less people will use it because they are to lazy.

Materials

 * 1) Scale
 * 2) Two Recyclying Bins
 * 3) Two Trash Bins
 * 4) Four Trash Bags

Procedure
Safety Concerns Variables
 * 1) Go out onto the baseball field and scope out the area
 * 2) Check the fields for waste (plastic bottles)
 * 3) Look at area and look for places where recycling trash cans may be placed
 * 4) Make sure the places are ready to use, so no one thinks it is a waste of energy to go over to them and put their bottle there.
 * 5) Acquire recycling bins and place them on the field
 * 6) Watch and take data if people use them
 * 1) Picking up Trash
 * 2) Getting cut from Sharp Objects (rule 21)
 * 3) Getting sick from biological waste (rule 29)
 * 1) Dependent Variable- Amount of trash placed in bins
 * 2) Independant Variable- Bins we placed in the field

Analysis: The main objective in this graph is to prove that when people have a trash bin and a recycling bin close together they will put bttles in the recycling. If the bins wernt close together people wouldnt want towalk farther away to put the correct piece of trash in the correct bin. The graph shows that once we moved recycling bins closer to the trash bins; the amount of recylcing rose significantly.

Conclusion: In this experiment, my groups hypothisis was supported because when we moved the recycling bins near the trash bins, more recyclibles were collected in the recycling bins than the trash bins. We ran into some troubles in our experiment. but ours were due to experimental errors. An example of one is how we didnt tell the baseball team that we were collecting trash and for them to recycle. We should have given the baseball team the same thing to eat; same amount for everyone so our tests could be equal. In this project my hypothisis was an sucses and i learned that if you give people an easy, convienient way to recycle, they will.
