Rosa conducts a survey.
Rosa doing a survey to see the needs and wants of the ladies at Recycle Swop Shop.
Last week Rosa conducted a survey to understand the needs and wants of the ladies and gentlemen at Recycle Swop Shop. We asked them questions like… Can you think of ways that would improve the system at Recycle Swop Shop? What items do we not supply enough of? What groceries would you like to see in the shop? What other environmental projects would you like to see in Du Noon?
We are still gathering all the data, but we learned a lot about the queuing and the first come – first serve system. They asked for items like washing up liquid, Face Cream and fresh vegetables. Many asked for a community vegetable garden. We also took the opportunity to show them some of the refill bags and how by saving the original bottle, we can sell the refills for much less. We especially like “Shield” deodorant that cost R11 or 11 token and the refill that cost R6 or 6 tokens.
Over the past 3 months we have been collecting data from the amount and type of recycling that each person brings, to the items they purchase in swop shop. All the data is connected by a loyalty card number. With the help of Sarah Wittman, we will be translating the data into graphs and hope to show trends in how swop shop has effected the lives of those who visit regularly.
Here are the stats for the 13th March 2012:
| Type | Weight |
| Plastic | 642 kg |
| Cardboard & Paper | 290 kg |
| Glass | 138 kg |
| Tin | 53 kg |
| Total | 1123 kg |
