In this IQP, we investigate the contribution of WPI students on the trash and recycling clutter in the streets surrounding WPI. Our conclusions were reached by tracking the trash in the streets through compiling images and surveying students who live off-campus. Our research has shown students are enthusiastic about maintaining the community, however, adequate information is not provided by the school. With our data and research, we believe that the recommendations made in this project are sufficient enough to increase awareness around campus.

• This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
