Abstract
The goal of this research was to analyze and assess the NCAT campus dumpsters and provide recommendations for reducing cost of dumpsters, adjusting quantity of dumpsters, placement of recycling dumpsters, and adjusting pick up schedule of dumpsters.Students were split into teams and assigned to different quadrants.Teams assessed the fullness of the dumpsters in their quadrants twice a week for two months and recorded results in a google form. In the duration of this research we observed some inconsistencies/issues for each quadrant. However, we were able to create alternative solutions that will help resolve current campus dumpster issues.
