The Leisure and Cultural Services Department appealed to the public not to burn wax or fly sky lanterns when celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It says that's to ensure the enjoyment of the festivity in a good environment. Also, the public should not throw glow sticks or other objects onto trees, as doing so may cause damage to the trees and affect the cleanliness of venues.
Authorities will deploy staff to step up patrols at its venues, including parks, public beaches and barbecue sites) on October 6th and take enforcement actions against littering, wax burning, throwing objects onto trees and flying sky lanterns.
Citizens may call the LCSD hotline 2414 5555 to report any non-compliance found at LCSD venues.
The LCSD will issue to littering offenders a fixed penalty notice with a fine of 3,000 dollars. Persons who burn wax, throw objects onto trees or fly sky lanterns may be prosecuted.
