Subject: Nationwide Recycling Survey - Take it and maybe win an IPAD!
Dear Public Works Director, Town Manager, Recycling Director, City Staff, or Hauler:
Please help Econservation Institute (EI)(a non-profit research group) and Skumatz Economic Research Associates...
A favor, and a favor!  Fill out a survey about your community's / county's recycling / reduction programs and you will be automatically entered in a drawing for an IPAD!.  Please pass this along...!
Every couple of years we conduct a nationwide survey on recycling.  It is used to conduct statistical studies that very often end up in Resource Recycling Magazine or Biocycle, APWA, Waste Age etc. (and maybe helping you, I hope!?).
To participate, just click on the link below,
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HJNW3SX
or you can also go to www.garbageandrecyclingsurveys.com<http://www.garbageandrecyclingsurveys.com>; and complete the "national survey". Be sure to include your contact information to become eligible for the prizes (and IPAD and 4 MP3 players).
You can also request copies of the survey summary. Your help is MUCH appreciated! Please feel free to call if you have any questions, or feel free to pass it along to someone in your agency that knows about recycling & solid waste.  Also feel free to pass this along to other cities / counties / haulers, etc.
 (Note: a sampling of the types of studies we've conducted and published widely from these data are listed below the signature).
Thank you very much!
