Data+Collection

Today, we took initial data of our target locations for the new bins. I also ordered the bins and we also looked at the survey monkeydata. I will share this data with each of you with a hard copy, it may be useful in your groups. next meeting will hopefully include setting up our new bins.

1/30/12 Today we have collected our data regarding the usage of recycling and trash bins. We received the 7 big bins and the 5 small bins that we purchased. We are currently working on signs to advertise recycling. We are working on formatting the initial data. We created a template for the lids of the large bins. After collecting all of the barrels, they were distributed through the school. PLEASE use them.

2/7/12 Today people went around and collected data from the new recycling bins. Other kids laminated recycling posters and saved the data collected in a table. So far, lots of recycling has been collected from the cafeterias, but in places like the gym, bottles are condensing in the trash when the recycling bin is right next to it. KEEP using the bins! DON'T be lazy and throw recycling in the trash!

2/29/12 Today people went around the school and counted the items in the recycling bins. The people recorded the data from the bins. So far places like the gym, front lobby and cafeterias are being filled up to the top every week. Some bottles and paper are still being throw into the trash bin. We will relocate our bins according to usage.

3/9/12 Today we got back a sheet with the results from all four weeks from it. The data from each room has three weeks where the data is at a good amount and one week where the data has decreased. The cafeterias are the most popular. Nobody ids helping the wikispace.
