The results show that the attitude towards waste reduction affects recycling and waste reduction. Attitudes to reduce waste will depend on participation, recognized costs and benefits, and the availability and subjective criteria of the recycling program. Hernandez O et al. (1999) conducted a preliminary survey of factors related to Quito's recycling program and residents' involvement in garbage separation. As a result, focus group discussions, detailed interviews, household surveys showed that the steps to increase the sorting of waste by the residents and to identify the steps that must be taken to sustain them.

In 2006, Boston University conducted a waste audit at Charles River Campus, built the foundation of the recycling program, and found a waste transfer rate of 3%. By 2014, the BU reduced the total amount of waste (incineration, recycling, composting and donation) by 10%, but the waste split ratio increased from 3% to 33%. These improvements in waste reduction and recycling can be attributed to several factors. Catering for dining, composting of garbage, and grassroots activity on campus for teachers and students.

Faculty and staff and students not directly involved in the physical treatment of waste and recycling should be aware of Valdosta State University's commitment to proper waste management and recycling. Convenient placement and routine maintenance of waste and recycling containers in offices (including office paper recycling bin), classrooms, parking lots and all campus facilities should promote superior waste management. Biomedical waste - pathological waste, culture of biological waste, infectious agents and related biological products, corpse of contaminated animals (body parts, bedding and other animal waste ) Parts excluding supplies and materials that are not decontaminated from consumables

Normally, a large amount of garbage and food waste are generated in the cafeteria of the university, but by appropriately recycling, this problem can be solved almost. An effective recycling program distinguishes between different kinds of waste rather than accumulating everything in the trash can. However, education is essential for the success of the waste management program. Also, there is no harm in the clearly marked box. Outreach activities such as posters and leaflets explain the plan and help to raise the awareness of campus's approach to sustainability. At Iowa State University, "The colorful poster of the restaurant displays the results of the food waste campaign in October 2008 vividly, which helps students identify which garbage can be composted.
