ZION Road Hawker Centre is all dressed up to remind patrons to return their trays after their meals.
Goodness Gracious Me!, a movement to encourage diners to clear their trays out of consideration for the next person using the table, starts today at the food centre.
Final touches were being put to the food centre last Friday: Posters and table decals were placed prominently and tray-return racks were parked in accessible spots.
The Goodness Gracious Me! drive was launched by The Straits Times in October at five Kopitiam foodcourts. A school canteen, an industrial estate and a hospital have since joined the campaign.
Inspired by the difference the drive has made, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Singapore Kindness Movement are working with The Straits Times to bring it to Zion Road Hawker Centre.
A trial there by NEA in 2003 failed. Diners complained that the tray-return racks were too far away and baulked at having to handle soiled crockery.
