Over 65s needed for research: ‘How will an ageing population impact UK waste management?’
The UK has an ageing population which has already placed huge pressure on public services including the NHS. It is possible that an ageing population has the potential to impact other UK public services including that of waste management.

A student currently reading for a masters in environmental science is focusing their dissertation on the question “How will an ageing population impact UK waste management?” The data collected will be used to make recommendations for a cost-effective, environmentally sound waste management programme suited to an ageing population.
At present the student is looking for participants aged 65 and over to attend a short (30 minute) focus group which will explore how attitudes to waste management change as we age by answering a few short questions.
