Over 9 in 10 surveyed in Singapore said they returned their trays and crockery all the time in 2023.
More than 80 per cent of Singapore residents in 2023 indicated they were willing to clean up spills after eating at food outlets like hawker centres.
These findings, released on April 26, were from the Public Cleanliness Satisfaction Survey 2023 conducted by the Singapore Management University . Funded by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment , the study surveyed 2,010 Singapore residents on their perceptions of cleanliness in the Republic from November 2023 to January 2024.
“Hopefully, over time, this habit will translate to other public places as well,” said the researchers, led by professor of sociology Paulin Tay Straughan from SMU and Dr Mathew Mathews, principal research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies. But despite an increase in reliance on cleaning services, only 75 per cent of respondents agreed that more money should be spent on cleaning services, which is significantly down from 81 per cent who said the same in 2022.
