Notices from The San Pedro Town Council

Garbage
Press Release – San Pedro Town Council – May 13, 2015 – The San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) hereby notifies the general public that in accordance with the Town Council’s (Control of Refuse) Bylaws No. 13 of 2005 section 3 – “The occupier of any premises within the limits of any town shall provide on the premises a suitable receptacle with a secured cover for the contamination of garbage.” Moreover, section 10 (e) – “A person within the limits of any town who exposes, on any sidewalk, street, or any place where the content may be scattered onto a public place, a receptacle containing garbage not sufficiently protected so as to effectively prevent content of the receptacle from being exposed or scattered commits a littering offence,” therefore; section 11(1) “Any person who commits an offence may be issued a violation ticket with a fine of $500.00.”
With this in mind, the SPTC is requesting that all business owners to construct proper bins to be placed within their business premises (accessible for the garbage collectors) and to properly cut, fold and tie all boxes and place them inside the garbage bins. This request will help in preventing the garbage from scattering, as we are a tourist destination and the council relies on the business community’s support to keep the garbage from causing an eyesore to “La Isla Bonita”
The San Pedro Town Council thanks you for your full cooperation and understanding in this matter.
