Every Can Counts partnered up with the University of Lincoln to help increase the recycling rates of tin cans around the University campus by installing recycling bins around the campus. They also held an awareness day to help promote the bins and the need for recycling.

I have learnt that by increasing the opportunities to recycle, and making the recycling bins more visible, a lot of students and staff are more likely to actually recycle more. They introduced recycling bins at over 15 buildings, including 3 outdoor bin locations around campus, so with them being widespread around campus and easily accessible, the recycling rates increase.

A possible negative is that a lot of recycling comes down to accessibility, if it’s a chore to recycle a lot of people don’t seem to do it, me included. Yet, if it’s easy and hassle free to do, people will.
