The research question seeks to unmask the reasons for the
decrease in recycling. The survey provided looks poses

9. questions that help determined general demographics of the
survey participants and seeks to uncover what is impacting
recycling in Wilmington. As recommended by Johnson (2014)
the survey should be concise and not take a great deal of time to
complete (p. 142).
Johnson (2014) raises to critical points on data collection, first
the survey needs to be pretested before being administered to
the public (p. 142) and the method of conducting the survey can
greatly impact the response rate (p. 129)
