The purpose of this petition is to eliminate illegal littering & dumping in Grenada.
1) Under the Abatement of Litter Act 2015, anyone littering is liable to a fixed penalty of $100 for the first offence, doubled for a second offence within one year.
If this goes to court, the penalty rises to $300 - $1500, and / or six months in prison.
2) Any ‘body corporate’ (i.e. business) littering or dumping is liable to a penalty of $500. If this goes to court, then the penalty becomes $1,500 – S4,500
3) If litter is thrown out of a vehicle (including a bus), and if the person throwing the litter cannot be identified, then the driver or registered owner of the vehicle is held responsible
