After the ceremony, the officiating guests and the SSPDC members took part in the bus parade and visited various locations in the district, including Cheung Sha Wan Community Centre, Po On Road Market, Mei Foo Sun Chuen, Apliu Street and Nam Shan Estate. Cleaning packs were distributed to residents to encourage them to nurture a habit of good hygiene practices.
To spread the message of keeping Hong Kong clean to every corner of the district, the SSPDO will organise a number of public education and publicity events, including seminars on environmental hygiene and school cleaning activities from mid-August to September. The SSPDO will also arrange contractors to clean the common areas of some "three-nil" buildings with less satisfactory environmental hygiene conditions in the district.
