New penalties set for littering and for not recycling
City officials recently announced a new set of penalties and fines designed as a part of the city's beautification and recycling program.
The new program includes fines of 200 yuan to 1,000 yuan for littering. Apartment complexes that fail to provide adequate garbage facilities face fines of 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan.
The city's imminent recycling program includes a tiered system of penalties for households that fail to sort their garbage. Initial penalties begin with a warning and escalate to fines of up to 1,000 yuan. Apartment complexes face similar penalties, with fines ranging from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan for failing to sort garbage.
The city will also organize a database for littering and recycling offenses. Repeat offenders may face further criminal penalties and their employers may be notified.
