Recycling is a way to decrease the amount of rubbish being filling up the landfill, it also helps the environment and is a sustainable development.
The aim of this investigation is to find out some aspects about domestic recycling. Of particular interest is:-
- What people widely recycle
- How much of different things people recycle
- Why people do/don’t want to recycle
So I created a basic questionnaire to find out what people would want to say about recycling and what changes they would want in the environment in the future.
- Do you recycle? Yes No
If No Thank you for your cooperation
- Do you think that recycling is beneficial for the environment?
Yes No Not sure
Why do you think recycling is beneficial or harmful for the environment?

Teacher Reviews
Here's what a teacher thought of this essay
**** A very good GCSE study. Data on recycling is collected by the author and used in conjunction with official figures to address the question of current recycling levels. To improve: 1)Include relevant background information about Land fill. Include reference to the problems associated with Land fill (eg production of greenhouse gases and toxic run off), and benefits (eg providing habitat for certain species). Provide explanations in the benefits and disadvantages sections 2)Make sure all graph axes are labelled and clearly state how many people took part in the survey (% can be misleading) 3)Link the data obtained from the survey to the official figures. Do the figures obtained about recycling levels and types of material recycled support each other for example? 4)Summarise what the data suggests about recycling levels and draw a relevant conclusion 5)Discuss the reliability of the data obtained. Outline the key issues with using questionnaires to obtain data like this, and highlight the number of people included (sample size)
