Abstract-
From October 2009 through December 2009, using non-probability sampling tools including an online survey, a paper survey and personal interviews, data was collected from the citizens of Pueblo, Colorado to determine if there was an interest in and/or desire for curbside recycling, composting and community gardens. Results strongly indicate there is an interest in participating in and a willingness to support these programs. Recommendations as a result of this project include making any subsequent recycling program as convenient and inclusive as possible for every household. It is also recommended that those interested in creating successful recycling programs provide education and most importantly model desired recycling behavior and encourage friends and neighbors to follow suit to create the most successful outcomes.
