BD300 fine for rubbish left outside bins
Bin bags left outside homes in newer housing areas are to be ignored by collection crews, as the Northern Municipality begins enforcing penalties of up to BD300 for rubbish left outside the designated containers.
The municipality has stopped collecting household waste placed directly in front of houses and is instructing residents to use the fixed bins and barrels intended for that purpose.
Under the Public Cleanliness Law, waste must be stored in containers with proper lids, and leaving it elsewhere is an offence.
Fines start at BD50 and may rise to BD300 depending on the nature and frequency of the breach. The municipality is calling on residents to dispose of rubbish properly. Paper notices outlining the change have been distributed across several neighbourhoods. Notices In the Ramli housing area, the notices were seen affixed to walls and gates, stating that household waste should only be taken out between 8pm and 10pm.
In many of the newer developments, the habit of dumping rubbish bags on pavements has taken hold, with bins sometimes unused or not put out at all. The municipality has pointed to this as one reason for enforcing the penalties.
The law applies to all types of premises, including homes, offices, shops, factories and other establishments. Waste must be stored in covered containers and kept off public ground.
