The City of Mexico has implemented stricter penalties for littering and abandoning dead animals, waste, objects, or substances in public spaces under a new amendment to the Law of Civic Culture. These actions are now classified as 'Type D' infractions, which carry fines of 20 to 36 hours of community service or arrest, rather than monetary fines. The reform modifies existing legal provisions by reclassifying these behaviors alongside other offenses outlined in Article 29 of the legislation. Previously, Type C infractions allowed for monetary penalties ranging from 21 to 50 Units of Measure, but this change eliminates that option for Type D violations. Other categories of infractions remain unchanged, including Type A (fines of 1–10 units), Type B (11–40 units), Type E (mandatory community service of 20–36 hours), and Type F (inconversible arrests of 24–36 hours).
