Waste & Recycling Programme Survey

Collection reliability, sorting clarity, and appetite for new waste streams.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Recycling programmes fail at the bin, in the moment of doubt over a yoghurt lid. This survey measures the practical programme – collection reliability, bin adequacy, sorting-rule clarity – and confusion hotspots by material, plus appetite for the next streams (food waste, textiles) before the trucks are ordered.

The confused-about-what answers write your next information campaign; every percentage of confusion converts directly into contamination charges at the sorting facility.
