The new director of AMET and the mayor of Santo Domingo have agreed to fine all those caught littering in the capital city. AMET will impose fines that range from RD$500 to RD$30,000. Jose Miguel Martinez, the man in charge at the municipal level of keeping the city clean, says that trash tossed onto the streets produces 5% of the 1,300 tons of garbage that the city government collects every day.
