Litter and waste control regulation

New Litter and Waste Control Regulations come into force in Tonga from Saturday

The Environment Management (Litter and Waste Control) Regulations 2016 will come into force from Saturday, April 1.

The campaign will target members of the public and companies who litter or dispose waste illegally, in the move to help keep Tonga clean.

Enforcement officers from the Department of Environment, under the Ministry of MEIDECC, have been working with partners from the Tonga Police Force, Waste Authority and the Ministry of Health in finalising procedures to be followed while enforcing the law.
