A large number of students at Arizona State University are part of the W.P. Carey School of Business. And a very large number of students walk by the Memorial Union on campus everyday. It could be hard to miss the recycle bins and trash bins that are especially located in that area as well as all over campus. It has become more popular now-a-days for establishments to have recycle bins as an option for your discarded items rather than just a trashcan. Arizona State is clever with the fact that their trash bins and recycle bins are placed right next to each other. The recycle bin has the word, "RECYCLE," written right on top of it. While the trash bins don't have the word, "TRASH,"written on them, but they have the word, "LANDFILL" written on them. It gives the students a feeling of guilt when they throw an item in the trash because they now know that their trash will be sitting in a landfill. Arizona State University is a highly populated university which makes it important for their students to be able to recycle. If all of the trash that the students built up on campus would take up miles of land and completely fill our landfills.
