The new Regulation of the Waste Law for Mexico City (“Regulation”) came into force on January 2, 2009. The Regulation contains, among others, provisions concerning the management of non-hazardous waste in Mexico City.
It provides that the ownership and responsibility of handling, transport and disposal of solid wastes, falls to the generator, unless those wastes are transferred to the competent authority or to an authorized private company.
Said responsibility ends at the point at which waste is deposited in authorized containers or on sites approved by the competent authority or when delivering to the Mexico’ City Collection and Public Services personnel.
