I have come to the realisation that GCU has almost no facilities in the form of food waste bins for students to use around campus. I have walked around campus, consulted with other students and student societies and all agreed that there are very lacking food waste disposal facilities on GCU. I am proposing a motion to push for a drive to increase the number of food waste bins available that students can use on campus.

Upon inspection the only food bins on campus are in the refectory (only 2 bins within close proximity to each other), there aren’t even any in the learning café, recharge cafe or the Re;union bar. Unbelievable for the effort GCU has in sustainability. The amount of wasted food that is improperly disposed of on GCU because there are no food bins to put it in will surely affect the campuses green status and environmental impact. The simple and inexpensive fix of more bins could be put in place to remedy the problem easily and effectively, particularly because the disposal facility of the food waste must already be in place due to the 2 existing food bins in the refectory.
