The existing recycling bins at the University of the West Indies (UWI) are often overflowing leading to recyclables being mixed with general waste. Also, without additional bins, the students and staff may not recycle as diligently as they could. Therefore, we propose installing a new recycling bin in a central location on campus. This bin should be clearly labeled and easily accessible to everyone. With that, this will serve as an educational tool to raise more awareness, diverting recyclables away from landfills, and reinforcing UWI's commitment to sustainability.
We urge the administration to prioritize this initiative. Let's make our campus greener and more environmentally conscious.

I have submitted a formal proposal to the facilities department detailing the specific locations where these bins are required. A representative from the administration requested a meeting to discuss the logistics of consistent waste collection.

The administration has acknowledged the volume of interest regarding our proposal for additional campus recycling bins. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to formalize our request for a meeting with the facilities manager.

PLEASE get more bins. it is embarrassing how much trash ends up in the wrong place.
good luck with this. hopefully they actually listen to us for once.
about time. tired of seeing bottles everywhere just cuz there is nowhere to put them.
so true. walk past the overflowing bins every single day and it drives me crazy.
Finally someone said it. The bins by the admin building are always a total mess.
I truly appreciate the thought.
