Burning wax, releasing sky lanterns or littering can lead to HK$3,000 fine: LCSD

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) reminds people to keep places clean, not burn wax or put lit candles on the ground, grass pitches, or beaches, not throw glow sticks or other objects onto trees, and not fly sky lanterns while celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

People littering at LCSD venues such as parks, beaches, and barbecue sites are liable to a penalty of HK$3,000. In contrast, the maximum penalty for burning wax, throwing objects onto trees or flying sky lanterns is a fine of HK$2,000 and 14 days' imprisonment.
