Abstract
This Resolution consisting of 50 articles organized into eight Chapters reiterates in Article 1 that public cleanliness is the responsibility of all residents within Libya. Article 2 prohibits individuals and organizations from littering, dumping waste in public areas, burning waste in open spaces, and disposing of human waste outside designated areas, while Article 3 mandates that authorities provide sanitation workers with health protection measures such as regular medical check-ups, vaccinations, protective clothing, shower facilities, and necessary food and supplies for their work.
Chapter two covers waste management and collection regulations: occupants must provide compliant waste containers while new buildings require disposal facilities; sanitation authorities enforce schedules and oversee collection points while managing temporary sites and public sanitation. Chapter three details waste collection and transportation rules: sanitation authorities provide equipped vehicles, ensuring proper loading and unloading, and prohibit waste sorting during transport, with weekly equipment cleaning mandated. Chapter five addresses street and public area cleanliness, with individuals responsible for sidewalk cleaning, and authorities managing sweeping, park cleaning, and drainage; they also handle dead animal removal and leak repairs, while landowners are tasked with septic tank management, enforced by municipal committees. Chapter six mandates residents clean weekly and share maintenance costs, while administrative bodies, schools, and offices must maintain cleanliness; urban animal breeding requires approval and adherence to hygiene guidelines. Chapter seven focuses on market and agricultural cleanliness regulations: municipal committees designate areas for farmers to sell produce, ensuring compliance with specified technical standards; sanitation authorities provide waste containers for these areas, with farmers responsible for proper waste disposal; farmers must clean market sites after sales, placing waste in provided containers for daily sanitation authorities to transport and empty, also spraying insecticides weekly; large markets receive compressed waste containers from the National Markets Company, which manages daily cleaning, while slaughterhouses and meat, poultry, and fish markets handle their waste disposal and daily cleaning. Finally, Chapter eight outlines waste disposal regulations: municipal committees designate compliant disposal sites, with proper landfilling procedures; organic waste conversion, incineration, and temporary quarry use are regulated while farmers dispose of agricultural waste under committee guidance, and service fees are collected by sanitation authorities. Designated officials enforce waste management laws, ensuring compliance and addressing waste-related crimes.
