East Asian Library’s New Waste Disposal Program (Effective May 2023)

The Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library is home to a vast collection of special materials, including rare books, manuscripts, and historical documents. To preserve the integrity of our collections and maintain a clean environment for all how use our facilities, we are implementing a new waste disposal program, effective May 2023.

Goals:

  • Adhere to our current EAL Food & Drink Policy (no food permitted, and covered drinks only). 
  • Ensure that only paper is disposed of in our recycling blue bins.
  • Dispose of all non-paper waste in the bins located outside the library near the elevators and near the washrooms on the 8th floor. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us achieve our waste reduction goals and in protecting our valuable collections. 

Thank you,

-Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library
