Waste is unwanted material. However, if we recycle this unwanted material we make Malta’s and Gozo’s environment look better.
There are several ways how one can recycle unwanted material. For example the grey bag, and the bring-in-sites.
They grey bags are collected door-to-door, and the bring-in sites are found in every town.
Recyclable materials include paper, metal, glass and plastic, which are taken to Sant’ Antnin Waste Treatment Plant.
The waste generated from homes in the black bags, are collected door-to-door and are taken to Sant’ Antnin Waste Treatment Plant.
Another type of waste is the organic, which originate from plants and animals. This can produce compost in the long run.
Civic Amenity Sites are there for bulky waste such as tyres and fridges. There are five civic amenity sites in Malta and Gozo.
By recycling, we are improving Malta by having a better environment and a better lifestyle.
