It's just instinct - see the closest can, put your trash/recycling in it. Having a visual reminder will help people.
Wow, your students actually put the empties in the containers?
Sometimes after a long build day, we spend time collecting the empties (or half-drank waters) from around the shop.
Or even worse.. find them in the TRASH and not in the returnable bin.
We do allot of fundraising (as I'm sure you all do), and bottle drives are one of our biggest! And to see a 5 cent bottle in the trash makes me cringe, and so we say something like "Hey Students, have you NOT been at a BERT bottle drive??!!"


(lol)
