Previously, it was announced that diners at hawker centres would have to clear their used trays and crockery.
If they fail to do so? Enforcement awaits.
Thankfully, an advisory period was implemented beforehand, during which diners were simply reminded and advised when they failed to comply with regulations.
This period essentially acted as an adjustment window, and it eases unwilling diners into the new phase.
For the unaware, the enforcement period kicks in on 1 September 2021.
From 1 Nov, Diners Need to Return Trays in Coffeeshops & Food Courts As Well
But it seems that hawker centres will not be the only ones.
With effect from 1 January 2022, enforcement will commence for table littering (i.e. returning of trays) at coffeeshops and food courts as well.
Much to the chagrin of many diners, I’m sure.
Similar to the hawker centre approach, there will be a two-month advisory period for diners to familiarise and adjust. The window will span 1 November to 31 December 2021.
During this timing, diners will be reminded to clear their plates.
In addition, visual cues such as posters and banners will be put up to encourage diners to practice the right protocol.
No enforcement will be taken during this period.
Q & A
In case you have queries, the following clarifications may benefit you.
Firstly, it’s mandatory for you to clear all wastage from the table. Tissues, wet wipes, shells and even bones should all be disposed of. Simply put, think of it as an Army standby bed routine.
Though instead of push-ups, you get fines.
Secondly, enforcement will not be taken against the elderly and the vulnerable, as well as children who are too young to clear their tables. The rest of the demographics will, however, be held responsible.
Thirdly, diners do not have to clear litter and wastage for the previous occupants. Cleaners will be on site to assist.
