Abstract: We placed recycling receptacles in two locations in academic buildings and studied recycling
behavior within an ABA multiple baseline design. During baseline, recycling
receptacles were placed in a central location. During the intervention, receptacles were
moved into classrooms where beverages were primarily consumed. Baseline conditions
were then reinstated. The percentage of cans recycled daily increased during intervention
and returned to near-baseline levels during withdrawal. The percentage of cans discarded
daily in the trash decreased during the intervention and increased to near-baseline levels
during withdrawal. Implications of this study include making recycling more convenient
in institutional settings.
