5 types of Stop or No Flytipping Signs
Tired of seeing unauthorized dumping on public roads or private property, you've thought about putting up prohibition signs to remind people of the law. After all, illegal dumping is inexcusable.
Do you want to try a reminder to the law to reaffirm that it is just not possible to deposit your garbage everywhere? Indeed, people do not always respect the collection of waste, whether in the city or in condominiums. Household waste can be found everywhere, scattered on the ground in the garbage room, or in the middle of the city, on the public space. The environmental code and the penal code punish the illegal dumping of waste in inappropriate places.

4. Reminders of fines, penalty sign
One technique is to recall the amount of the financial penalties. The problem? The real perpetrators know that they are rarely applied, because legal problems prevent them from doing so. So putting up a litter sign rarely pays off in the long term.
Listed buildings, historic monuments and site fences are subject to strict rules and penal sanctions for non-compliance with current standards. A penalty of €15 to €150 per day of delay may be imposed for failure to comply with standards and deadlines. In addition, failure to comply with standards relating to illegal billposting or irregular advertising may result in civil or criminal penalties, as well as a formal notice to remove the posters or advertisements. Failure to comply with regulations concerning the abandonment of waste or building sites can result in a fine of up to €150 per day. To inform the public of legal obligations and penalties, local authorities can put up hoardings or public signs.
