Since there is no master list of recycling club members in the U.S., the cluster sampling technique would be the best design to use. This involves dividing the population (in this case, all recycling clubs in the country) into clusters and selecting a random sample of clusters to study. Mildred can then study all members of the selected clusters instead of trying to locate and contact individual members from each club. This approach will be more cost-effective, efficient and feasible given her limited budget and time.
