In accordance with the provisions of the Waste Management Law, persons who throw waste while walking or through the windows of vehicles or buildings will be fined between SR200 and SR1,000.
A table containing the classification of various violations of the Waste Management Law and its executive regulations, as well as the penalties and fines, has been finalized by the National Center for Waste Management (MWAN).
Various violations and their penalties are listed in the table. The details are available on the National Competitiveness Center's unified electronic platform, the Public Consultation Platform (Istitlaa).
The platform allows the public to comment on the draft regulations and express their views.
There will be a minimum fine of SR1,000 and a maximum fine of SR10,000 for those who dig up waste containers, scatter their contents, and take out recyclable waste.
There is a fine of up to SR50,000 for those who throw construction waste on third parties' land or public places.
Non-removal of waste from construction, renovation, or demolition works will result in fines of up to SR20,000.
A fine of up to SR1,000 may be imposed on anyone who disposes of residential waste of large sizes, such as mattresses, furniture, and the like, in places not designated for them.
If green waste is disposed of in an area not designated for it or around the containers, the same fine will apply.
The maximum fine will be SR10 million in the event that waste is transported or allowed to be transferred to a service provider or waste management facility without its legal permission to receive waste.
The center has set a minimum of SR5,000 and a maximum of SR20,000 fines for a violation of non-removal of waste resulting from construction or demolition work, as well as waste disposal in flood passages and valleys, wells or beaches, or sewage or rainwater drainage systems.
Dumping construction or demolition waste on others' lands or public places will result in a maximum fine of SR50,000.
In the event of non-compliance with the center's regulations and requirements regarding the separation of hazardous waste and healthcare waste at the source, as well as waste transport vehicles, the center will impose a fine of SR10,000 and a maximum fine of SR100,000.
Waste collection and transportation service providers will be fined the same amount if they fail to comply with the center's regulations regarding the tracking of waste transport vehicles; destroying, disabling, or changing the settings of the tracking device installed on the vehicle; or placing containers in public places for unauthorized parties.
