is devise ''An attractive system to handle trash on campus clearly you're  
being asked to devise a system, not necessarily one machine, to handle  
trash that already is on the ground, not something that will change people  
is attitudes about dumping it in the first place.

in the sense that a 5.0 GHz processor is 'attractive' to a computer freak?  
 
An attractive system to me would be a buncha coeds in tee shirts walking  
around with pointed sticks, picking up trash. Every few minutes , someone  
could spray them with a hose, wetting the tee shirts. Wait, that would  
just encourage more trash. Rats.
