Wash-up sinks for lunchbox washing now available

The University arranged four engagement meetings in November 2017 for staff and students to collect views on encouraging a plastic-free dining behavior, with an eye on handling takeaway meals. Apart from offering greater financial incentive to encourage Bring Your Own (BYO), members of the University community also suggested the option of providing lunchbox washing facilities for users. Subsequently, the Facilities Management Office (FMO) carried out the first phase of wash-up sinks modification works and completed it before the 2018/19 Semester 1 commenced. Four wash-up sinks for the male and female toilets on G/F and 3/F of Block VA were modified to install grease traps and new water faucets. Detergents are now provided at these toilets and cleaning staff will take care of these washing basins. A few more wash-up sinks in some sit out areas on campus will come in the next phase. Next time when you need to wash you BYO lunchboxes, do look for a wash-up sink in Block VA with this signage.
