This project aims to increase engagement in sustainable food disposal at WPI and assess the feasibility of implementing a campus-wide food waste collection system. To help us reach our goals, our team conducted extensive research, including interviews, surveys, and observations, to gain more knowledge about the present tendencies of WPI community members and the current food waste collection system at WPI and other institutions. We concluded that WPI should improve the accessibility of food waste bins around campus and find new ways to engage and educate members. With our findings, we were able to create feasible recommendations that will best suit WPI.
