Law No. (14) of 2009 Concerning the Pricing of
Government Services in the Emirate of Dubai and its amendments;

Do hereby issue this Resolution.
a. Pursuant to this Resolution, the fees for the permits issued and services rendered by the DM in the field of Waste disposal, as set out in Schedules (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6) attached hereto, are approved.
b. For the purpose of calculating the fees set out in the schedules referred to in paragraph (a) of this Article, a part of a tonne will be rounded up to a full tonne, a part of a kilogramme will be rounded up to a full kilogramme, and a part of a year will be rounded up to a full year.
a. Without prejudice to any stricter penalty provided for in any other resolution, a person who commits any of the violations set out in Schedule (7) attached to this Resolution will be punished by the fine indicated opposite that violation.
b. Upon repetition of the same violation within one (1) year from the date of the previous violation, the amount of the corresponding fine set out in Schedule (7) attached hereto will be doubled. A fine must not exceed one hundred thousand Dirhams (AED 100,000.00).
c. In addition to the penalty of a fine referred to in paragraph (a) of this Article, the DM may, in coordination with the Concerned Entities in the Emirate of Dubai, take any of the following measures against a violator:
1. warning;
2. suspension of work for a period not exceeding six (6) months; or
3. revocation of the permit to conduct Waste-related activities.
In addition to the penalties prescribed by this
Resolution, a violator whose act or negligence causes harm to Public Health,
public safety, or the environment at Waste Disposal Sites, or causes damage to
the property therein, will be liable for remedying the damage or paying damages
within the time frame prescribed by the DM. Otherwise, the DM may take the
actions required for remedy of damage using its own resources or by engaging
third parties, and claim from the violator all costs incurred and damages, in
addition to administrative charges of twenty-five percent (25%) of these costs
and damages. The DM’s assessment of these costs and damages will be final.
The DM employees nominated pursuant to a
resolution of the Director General of the DM will have the capacity of law
enforcement officers to record the acts committed in breach of the provisions
of this Resolution and the resolutions issued in pursuance hereof. For this
purpose, they may issue the necessary violation reports, and, where necessary,
seek the assistance of police personnel.
Any affected party may submit a written grievance
to the Director General of the DM against the decisions, procedures, and
measures taken against him under this Resolution within thirty (30) days of
being notified of the contested decision, procedure, or measure. The grievance
will be determined, within thirty (30) days from the date of its submission, by
a committee formed by the Director General of the DM for this purpose, and the
decision issued in respect of the grievance will be final.
Fees, fines, costs, and damages collected pursuant to this Resolution will be paid to the Public Treasury of the Government of Dubai.
The Director General of the DM will issue the resolutions required for the implementation of this Resolution.
Any provision in the above-mentioned Local Order
No. (115) of 1997, in Local Order No. (7) of 2002, in Local Order No. (11) of
2003, or in any other resolution will be repealed to the extent that it
contradicts the provisions of this Resolution.
This Resolution will be published in the Official
Gazette and will come into force six (6) months after the date of its
publication.
