Based on our research, we offer the following suggestions for improving Carlisle's recycling program:
Fines for throwing away recyclables
Recycle police like in NYC
Collecting compost
Carlisle already operates a compost facility within the Borough. Currently, leaves and yard wastes are accepted on a drop-off basis. Expanding the facility to accept food wastes would be very beneficial to increasing the recycling rate in Carlisle, and in decreasing the amount of green bags that residents need to purchase.
Using Carlisle's small town sense of community to organize
Free and bigger recycling bins
This example is taken from the Delaware program, where the bins are free and much bigger. This would encourage more people to recycle.
