* One may come across these bins in the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. * The brown bins are used for dispensing with glass objects but since some people are yet unknowledgeable about their use, they threw a box made of paper. * Others did manage to get rid of glass objects appropriately. However, it should be noted that most people are still unaware of which rubbish to dispense with in which bin. A leaflet providing due info would be convenient. * Ideally, the person/s in charge of unloading the rubbish should come around at least twice a week since the bins are overloaded.

* The picture was shot in one of the most idylic spots in Marsaxlokk between Tas-Silg and Delimara. * A car seat looms in the background, courtesy of a mechanic who puts shop nearby. * To minimize and ideally prevent such abuse, setting up CCTV cameras would come in handy. Ideally, the mayor would be notified and a fine would be sent to the offender/s.

* This car carcass is what is left after some people stripped it off its parts after it was left there. * To prevent accidents such as conflagrations it would be good idea to dispose of a tow truck service so as to get rid of such eye sores.

* Unfortuantely, rules are made to be broken. This is just another example. Trash is left out either prior to the trash man’s arrival or much later!Consequently, it will be later visited by a pack of stray animals, notably cats and one can only imagine its aftermath….

* Health and Safety precautions. This license plate rather worn out at its edges and completely battered has definitely experienced much better moments. Its jagged edges providing an ideal tool or toy for some youngsters who may be fooling around, brandishing it wildly…….

* This bin is heavily pregnant with rubbish. Apparently, the trash service seems to have missed out on its routine collection allowing residents the privelege of a rat invasion not to mention the festering smell……

This place is in Fgura.In this picture we can see the rubbish not thrown in its appropriate place.This is a private property without anybody bothering to look after it.If we take a good look at this picture we can see a yellow torn poster write on it “Do not throw rubbish here” and who will throw rubbish here will be heavily penalised.But how much do people bother to notice it?In that locality people throw away their rubbish during the night not to be seen by anybody so that infront of their door will remain clean.This rubbish remains there up to the following morning.Later at night the rats and cats come out and make a feast with all that rubbish and leave a mess behind the doors.Anybody who notices someone throwing rubbish outside is duty bound to make a report to the people concerned.

New Outside dump!

In this picture we can see rubbish dumped in a private property in Fgura, exactly behind the yard of a house.The owner of this property objected about very unpleasant smells and occasionally he found rats and all types of insects.Having no pride for the environment, some people have access to this property and discard all their rubbish there.Unfortunately the owner is not talking any action about the rubbish because the situation remained the same.We must be environmental conscious that if we don’ t see any posters with regards to the environment, we should take it for granted that the rubbish should be thrown in the right recycling bags and placed in the right place and not thrown anywhere we like and leave all types of animals and insects make a feast with this rubbish.Private properties are not a dumping site!Education is the best!
