<div>I once put up signs over the sink saying "No food trash" in the sinks that have no disposal unit, and "Food trash OK" over the sink with a disposal. The signs are long gone, and all three sinks are eternally clogged with food trash. Maybe someone with laser-cutting skills could make something more permanent?</div>

<div>There's a sign in the kitchen and dirty shop saying something like "clean up after yourself". Signs alone are weak, without community standards communicated through a formalized new-user orientation. </div>
