Students Attitudes And Beliefs Towards Recycling On The Campus Of A Midwestern Masters Granting Institution

Abstract

In choosing this topic, research was conducted to determine what students know
about recycling, how they participate in recycling on campus and see how the recycling
programs on the campus of Eastern Illinois University (EIU) has been beneficial to the
institution, and to the campus community as it attests to helping develop students as
global citizenship. Recycling on the Eastern Illinois University's campus generally takes
place in two distinct areas: residence halls and academic buildings. Each of these areas
presents a unique challenge for the recycling coordinator, in terms of materials readily
available, the collection method, and the level of active recycling by the buildings
inhabitants. This particular study examines the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of the
students currently residing in university housing units.
