The proportion of plastic bottles that consumers placed in appropriate recycling receptacles rather than trash bins was examined across 3 buildings on a university campus. We extended previous research on interventions to increase recycling by controlling the number of recycling receptacles across conditions and by examining receptacle location without the use of posted signs. Manipulating the appearance or number of recycling bins in common areas did not increase recycling. Consumers recycled substantially more plastic bottles when the recycling bins were located in classrooms.
研究人员调查了大学校园内 3 栋建筑中，消费者将塑料瓶放入适当的回收容器而不是垃圾桶中的比例。我们通过控制不同条件下的回收容器数量，并在不使用张贴标志的情况下检查容器位置，扩展了先前关于增加回收的干预措施的研究。在公共场所操纵回收垃圾桶的外观或数量并没有增加回收量。当回收垃圾桶位于教室时，消费者会更多地回收塑料瓶。
