Researchers analyzed participation rates and barriers to adoption, highlighting gaps between program outreach and actual community involvement. The findings could inform strategies to boost recycling efforts and reduce waste in urban areas. Results suggest that while composting awareness exists, practical challenges may limit broader participation.
