Through 2019 and 2020 the USE project run by VOICE, funded and supported by REPAK, ran an initial pilot programme examining effective interventions
to improve the recycling rates and reduce contamination of recycling in multi-unit developments (MUDs). The pilot project aimed to identify the specific barriers to greater recycling behaviour and to trial prompts and supports that would help to improve effective recycling rates. The
problem of contamination of shared bins has been widely recognised and has resulted in a number of pilot studies internationally and in Ireland
. USE is the first national project looking to address the issue across multiple sites in Ireland.
The project was comprised of research and intervention components. The research component was comprised of surveys of residents, focus groups
with residents as well as interviews with management agency staff. The interventions trialled a number of approaches to remove barriers to
effective recycling behaviours and create a new and
sustained social norm within the complex.
