Stay informed. Get involved. Respect the rules.
Clean streets don’t just happen, we make them happen!
It starts with how we manage our waste.
The new Sanitation Bye Laws are here to make waste collection safer, fairer and smarter for everyone.
Waste collection and disposal in Freetown will now be managed by FCC-approved waste management companies.
The new Byelaws ensure the following:
Dos
- Register with the service provider in your block
- Fixed waste collection fees for households, businesses & institutions
- Standard waste collection pick-up schedules
- Payments via a new digital payments system
Don'ts
- Don’t dump waste in streets, gutters, or waterways.
- Don’t burn waste — it pollutes the air and harms health.
- Don’t pay unapproved service providers
- Don’t block access to waste collection bins and bags
- Cross di dorti line en pay di dorti price!
Violators face a fine up to NLe 5,000, 6 months imprisonment or both
Laws are always fantastic but enforcement and compliance are always the challenge every institution is faced with. Hope enforcement is persistent and sustained to achieve the desired goals.
This is good we hope it will not die like the other project .
For us living in the hill side how can we access this service .
We don’t want the cost to be high as things are tight we can’t afford to spend our food money on waste so please make it cheap so all will be able to afford to pay
Thanks a lot for this great initiative
It is our responsibility as Sierra Leoneans to spread these bylaws to our relatives and friends so they can better understand them and avoid becoming victims. let make it workable to have a clean city.
