The Haryana Non-Biodegradable Garbage (Control) Act, 1998, is a legislative measure designed to manage and reduce the environmental impact of non-biodegradable waste, such as plastics and nylon, within the state of Haryana. It mandates that citizens and businesses properly dispose of such waste in designated receptacles rather than throwing it into drains or public spaces. The Act imposes duties on local authorities to provide collection infrastructure and empowers them to penalize those who violate these sanitation rules. For the ordinary citizen, this law serves as a regulatory framework to ensure cleaner public spaces, functional drainage systems, and improved public health through responsible waste management.
