New CVP Survey: America’s Recycling Programs are Riding Out Economic Storm

CVP has just released the findings from an online survey we conducted to gauge how community recycling programs are coping with the economic slowdown. Here is a peek at a few of the key findings:

·         69% of respondents say their recycling program has been impacted by the current economic crisis
·         59% of respondents say that although their programs have been affected by the crisis, participation is about the same
·         60% of respondents say their community’s recycling program has NOT experienced budget cuts
·         44% of respondents are maximizing their program’s budget by postponing program enhancements or recycling infrastructure projects
 
Click here to read the release in its entirety.
 
Though surveys distributed through SurveyMonkey cannot produce truly accurate results, we thought the findings were interesting especially since they show that, on the whole, community recycling programs are not suffering as badly as other programs.
 
We’ve heard from communities that are scaling back on wide-spread education efforts but are trying less expensive outreach strategies instead. What have you done to make the most of your limited budget? We want to hear from you!
