Building owners ordered to keep entrances clean
Print Edition
THE operators and owners of commercial buildings, government facilities, schools, parks and even airports will from tomorrow be legally bound to keep the areas outside their main entrances clear of rubbish.
The new regulation was announced yesterday at a press conference held by the Shanghai government’s legislative affairs office.
Anyone who violates the rule will be subject to a fine or other punishment, said Jiang Zihao, an official with the office.
“The regulation aims to encourage companies to make the cleaning of their public areas a habit,” he said.
According to the new document, “public areas” are defined as those spaces between an official entrance or gate and the nearest sidewalk or road.
The clean-up rule applies to all types of buildings — from government offices to schools, hospitals, sports and entertainment venues, shops, markets, parks, airports, railway and bus stations, and ports.
Each building or facility will be given clear details of the public areas for which they are responsible, Lu Jianping, deputy director of the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau told the conference.
“The greenery bureau will issue detailed guidelines on how to define the public areas, while district and town governments will help to divide them up,” he said.
Once the areas have been defined, the companies and facilities should make that information clear to the public, the regulation said.
As well as keeping the public areas free of rubbish, graffiti and illegal vendors, owners and operators should also clear any snow that falls within them.
Violators will face fines of up to 100,000 yuan (US$15,990), the regulation said.
