So after what we have done, the town of Columbus will most likely get its public recycling bins in the future. It may not be an ideal victory because the bins are not up yet, but the result should come soon enough. The funny thing is that after we had started our project, we discovered that the town was already thinking of an idea like public recycling bins. This is because of a man named Steve Sobiek who is part of the Greater Columbus Energy Task Force. They have power that mere students don’t. While it is hard for us to determine what impact (if any) we had on the future of the town, at least the possibility of us helping is there. Perhaps we helped by putting a small spark under the project.
These are the locations we chose as being the best for permanent recycling bins in Columbus. They’re all near heavy foot traffic areas where there are currently only garbage cans.
We can’t wait to see the bins in Columbus someday. Maybe they will look similar to some of these public recycling bins that are all over the country and even in Europe.
Whoever is reading, remember that recycling begins with you. In your home, your business, or now in public, think about recycling. Here is a short video that shows all you need to know about home recycling, in case you have forgotten anything.

I think that you guys probably did help! Just showing an interest in something like that will help get the ball rolling. Even though it sucks that you didn’t get to see an impact right away, you’ve helped Steve Sobiek. It’s great that you are out in the community doing something good instead of just on campus!
