• Participants: willing to give it a go, depending on the perceived effort required
• Non-participants tended either to be:
o people in ‘stressed’ circumstances
o already felt ‘not contributing to landfill’, e.g. composting
o lower motivation to change – why bother?
o Physical barriers
• Managing smells and noxious products such as nappies were main concerns for fortnightly collection of rubbish.
