It was something he had been curious about. Normally, he puts his own trash into his own waste receptacle, and he took it outside to the designated area he was instructed to do so when he first enrolled. But he sort of it did everything out of habit, the routine of taking out the trash, but never questioned how it was dealt with or how it ended up in the junkyard. That was a place he had been to from time to time, it was a place he had class with Professor Moira. He pondered it for a while thinking that gnomes were taking care of it, or perhaps residence of Halloween Town, or it was a student's job to do it every other week or something. It wasn't until he noticed that among the open classes that he was able to part-take in as a student of Amityville was Trashology 101. Taking the slip, he had gone back to his room to look up the course.

General Information: In Trashology 101, students will learn the valuable skills of cleanliness and machine operation. All around campus, trash and waste and other icky things are taken care of by Moira's sorta-patented Trashbot Waste Disposal Units! But they need to be emptied sometimes and there's just too many of them for Moira to handle on her own...
The Course: The Trashbot Waste Disposal Units (or Trashbots) zip around the campus and collect trash, etc. before returning to their home base in Moira's Fortress of Janitorial Solitude. This home base is a massive, warehouse-like room with a cold concrete floor, rusting steel girders, and a rather pervasive smell. The Waste Disposal Chutes are also set into the floor - huge tubes that lead down to a rather foul cavern below, infested with all manner of vermin. Students must deal with the Trashbots... by whatever means necessary.
Did we mention that the Trashbots are ten-foot-tall ramshackle monstrosities of rusting metal, covered in blades and dumpsters and rust? And that they don't particularly like letting go of a thing once they have it? And that their programming as to what counts as 'trash' is spotty at the best of times?
He smirked to himself as he had already began making his way to where the class was being held. When he came to the junkyard where Professor Moira had her class, he noticed the place where the trash bots were scurrying in and out from. That must be where the class was held. Down he went.
