Developing a Research Approach
Michael is a manager of a Perth council recycling centre, which enables local residents and property owners to dispose of additional general, green and e-waste and recycling, and is concerned that local residents' use of the centre is declining. He doesn't know why this is and has come to your research company for advice. Michael believes a survey of local residents is the best approach to find out why use of the centre is falling.
