(1) Every hawker or street seller operating in a public place, shall keep the place and the immediate vicinity thereof in a clean and sanitary condition, during and after operating times and, for such purpose, shall have such number of bins as approved by Government during the operating times.

(2) Without prejudice to these regulations, where in the opinion of the Government, a hawker or street seller or the substitute has failed to comply with sub-regulation (1), the Government may, by notice in writing, require such licensee, within such period as may be specified therein, to take such steps as it may deem fit for the purpose of complying with these regulations.

(3) In case where a number of hawkers or street sellers or stalls are operating in a specific context, such as open air markets, public events, village feasts or similar, Local Councils shall ensure that bins for the separate collection of waste are provided, at their own expense or at the expense of the licensed hawker or street seller or stall owner, for the separate collection of:

(a) organic waste;

(b) glass;

(c) metal, plastic, cardboard and paper; and

(d) mixed waste: Provided that:

(a) in the case of open air markets, such bins for the separate collection of waste shall be sited within the zone reserved for that market;

(b) in the case of village feasts and public events, such bins for the separate collection of waste shall be sited as close as possible to the majority of the stalls; and

(c) more than one set of bins for the separate collection of waste may be provided if it is retained that the number of stalls merits such or that the location of the stalls is fragmented.
