An early 2014 Harris Poll survey of American recycling habits, sponsored by the National Waste & Recycling Association, revealed positive trends, as well as significant room for improvement. Of the 2,000 adults surveyed, two-thirds had a firm idea of which products should be put into recycling bins. This finding indicated that, while many people have become accustomed to separating waste, a substantial number could benefit from better access to educational materials.
Another positive finding was that approximately 55 percent of Americans have access to a curbside collection system that makes recycling easy and convenient. One area of widespread confusion was in the proper disposal of plastic bags. Nearly 40 percent did not know that these bags should not be put into household recycling bins, as they can cause significant harm to recycling facilities.
