The government of Havana<\/a> is promoting a plan for the conservation of the image and hygiene of the city, which includes high fines for those who fail to comply with the provisions.<\/p>\n

The government program comprises a group of measures that will enter into force on March 1 and among which are that \u201ceach state or social entity is responsible for the permanent hygiene and beautification of its establishments, including its surrounding areas,\u201d the newspaper Tribuna de La Habana<\/em> reported<\/a> this Saturday.<\/p>\n

Among the measures to maintain hygiene in Havana’s communities and neighborhoods is the call to families to deposit household waste at the collection points established between 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. The violation of this rule can be sanctioned with fines of up to 1,500 Cuban pesos (CUP), as well as the non-collection of waste in these sites by those responsible for doing so.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, those who throw waste in the avenues, streets, parks or other common areas outside the wastebaskets, baskets or garbage<\/a> deposits, can be subject to fines worth between 150 to 300 pesos.<\/p>\n

In addition, those who throw in public places debris resulting from construction actions in their buildings may be fined up to 3,000 Cuban pesos. This regulation, which will be valid for families as well as for state, social and private entities, means that the debris can only be deposited in the places that each People\u2019s Council\u2015local organ that includes a demarcation smaller than the municipalities\u2015defines for this purpose, and that will never coincide with traditional domestic waste deposits.<\/p>\n

As previously reported, residents in the municipalities of Centro Habana and Old Havana can contract the collection service from the Aguas de La Habana enterprise, for processing and reuse; while the families and entities of the rest of the Havana municipalities must manage the collection of debris through the Provincial Hygiene Department.<\/p>\n
