Kerbside Recycling Attitudes and Behaviour in the Australian Capital Territory
The report sponsored by the Australian Capital Territory Jurisdictional Recycling Group
and Australian Capital Territory NOWaste provides a description of
the features associated with household participation in kerbside recycling
including matching what households report with their behaviour. Community
Change worked with information provided by APrince Consulting to
identify links between quantities of materials recycled and household
demographic features. The report also examined key stakeholder and
householders living in multi-unit dwellings responses to changes in the
kerbside collection system. Generally householders had accurate perceptions
and recall of their recycling actions and were satisfied with the changeover from a split
system to a co-mingled collection service.

Keeping It Clean - Changing Disposal Behaviour
Integrated litter management and prevention programs are likely to provide the most cost effective returns from limited resources. Community Change’s research has involved the actual behaviours associated with littering and binning, with CC developing innovative ways to measure, understand and predict disposal behaviour. Their techniques have helped in more cost-effective use of resources through recycling systems in public places and at events. Community Change, like many stakeholders, is working towards a unified approach which encourages Australians to utilize world best practice.
As part of our commitment to sustainable practices, we are using a change framework to assist communities in directing their prevention efforts more effectively, with greater confidence in outcomes and a clear set of principles to guide intervention efforts, along with straightforward, systematic methods for monitoring and evaluating outcomes.
