In Malta, one can dispose of bulky household refuse at one of the ‘Civic Amenity Sites’ located around the island. Should this be inconvenient, one can call the local council and set an appointment for an employee of the Bulky Refuse Service to collect the refuse from one’s household. Both services are free of charge. However, some prefer to use neither. This photograph was taken in tal-‘Qrejten’, limits of Bahar ic-Caghaq.

During a Clean Up activity held earlier this March, the St Edward’s College, Malta Eko-Skola Committee supervised by their teachers Ms.Samantha Abela, Mr.Daniel Caruana Smith and with the help of Ms.Ghislaine Calleja from #GetTrashedMalta they encountered a very peculiar sight. A skink was trapped into a plastic water bottle. A day prior to the clean up it had rained and this discarded water bottle got filled with some water. This poor skink ventured inside it to drink the water and got trapped. By the time the boys found it, the skink was barely moving as it was tired from hours of struggling. The boys managed to help her slither out of the bottle and release it. The skink was quite surprised and happy to be out in the open again. It looked back at the boys a few seconds, perched on a rock, before running away. Rubbish, when improperly disposed
