Collecting tray comparison
Are my sentences good English?:
-When it comes to whether customers on campus should be required to voluntarily take their trays after meals to the collection stations, where separate staff will then separate items on the trays into different larger trays, waiting to be washed, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is, if staff have the additional job of collecting trays on tables, restaurants have to employ more staff, generally improving the employment rate; the disadvantage is, if a customer comes to the restaurants single, when he goes away to, say, take a glass of water, his tray will be left unattended and then regarded as a finished meal and taken away by the staff, with no friends to tell the staff not to do so. In this case, staff are very often left in a limbo, fearing to take away what should not and to obstruct other customers by leaving heaps of trays on tables.
Thank you.

Hi I found that understandable. I don't think you need 'voluntarily' in the first sentence I liked your use of the semicolon and 'say' in the second sentence For the third sentence, I would maybe write something like: - In this case, staff are very often left in a limbo, fearing to take away what they should not, nor wanting to obstruct other customers by leaving heaps of trays on tables.

A quick comment.
You can't be required to do something voluntarily. This makes no sense.
