Trash and Recycling Pile Up on Campus

I believe that one of the largest hinderences to on campus recycling is the amount of trash we produce and the way in which it is disposed.  I find that when I walk through Chilcott (the dorm that I live in) there are ten recycling bins and one trash can (four trash cans if you include the ones in the bathroom, which are always filled up with paper towels making them useless to the students).  Does Occidental believe that over 45 students produce only one medium-sized bin's worth of trash?  The question I'm seeing here is, "How can you recycle when every bin available is contaminated with trash because of the overwhelming amount a dorm produces?"  You might say add a couple more trash bins and make it work.

Another problem is the weekend.  Every weekend trash fills our hallways and spills out of every bin onto the floor, against the wall, and the entire surrounding area.  This is because we have no weekend cleaning staff for on-campus housing.  By Friday night, every bin is almost full with trash, alcohol bottles and cans, and stuff that's been sitting in students' refrigerators for well over 2 months --> Still leaving the students with Saturday and Sunday to generate trash and recyclables.  If Occidental wants to be serious about recycling and keeping its campus clean then it not only has to add more trash bins to every dorm, but they have to bring in some people to work the weekends and remove trash as it piles up at an accelerated rate [due not only to alcohol consumption on the weekends, but the large number of visitors to campus].  Even if it was just a skeleton crew that covered all of the dorms during the day on Saturday.  It seems like a simple solution, but I wonder why nothing has been done.
