That's Just Rubbish, Garbology at Cirencester College
Cirencester College tackled its complete lack of recycling by
applying the
science of Garbology – an American concept which is the
analysis of what is
thrown away to identify the behaviours and patterns behind the
action.
The project engaged a cross-section of students from around the
college
and provided enough reliable data to persuade the county council to
provide
appropriate recycling facilities.
After three years the college’s recycling rate has gone from
nothing to
nearly 40%.
