Dropbox User Survey

Periodically the Ecology Action Center collects data on the usage of the residential recycling dropboxes located in Normal. These locations, managed by the Town of Normal, City of Bloomington, and McLean County, are accessible 24/7 and open to anyone wishing to drop off acceptable items.

To gather this data, a demographic survey is verbally administered to users as they drop off their recycling. Once the data is analyzed the results are used to make informed decisions regarding the program and improving access to recycling.
