The purpose of this petition is to eliminate illegal littering & dumping in Grenada
- 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–$1,500, and/or 6 months in prison.
- 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–$4,500.
- 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.

This law lacks teeth and equates to legislative masturbation of environmental concerns. Grenada, needs now more than ever strong visionary no nonsense leadership. The CBI money grab was stupid and will see more visa requirements for Grenadians…..make it make sense.
This would have to be a joke, as a foreigner living in Grenada the country is just too dirty and the sanitation practices leaves a lot to be desired
There are some disgusting people around, local citizens and students seem to be the main offenders. Throwing their used plastic bottles and empty food containers by the roadside is common, cars are rusting slowly at the roadside all over. Does the government carry some responsibility – definitely – there are not enough rubbish disposal points and bins. A lot of areas just have barrels left at the roadside with dogs throwing them over weekly. No 1 – stop single use plastics that are made locally, and that means mainly coca cola!
It is a shame that the good people of Grenada always have to remind our leaders to enforce their own rules.
