GREEN MT is for the second year
running collecting recyclable packaging waste from Bahar ic-Caghaq Caravan Site
limits of Naxxar. All 220 families residing at the caravan site
have been provided with a ‘ Bag for Life' so that it can be used to collect
recyclables and deliver to four sets of bring in sites for separated waste,
also provided by the scheme.
Earlier this week Eco Councillors visited
residents and distributed these bags and also provided literature underlining
where each material should be deposited.
GREEN MT, the National Authorised Waste Packaging
Compliance Scheme continues to lead the way in such initiatives, which although
costly, are the future best practice at community level.
Agreement to recover such materials at at
source from Bahar ic-Caghaq Caravan Site was reached after discussions with Mr
Vince Perry, cairman of the Bahar ic-Caghaq Caravan Site.
In addition, GREEN MT also effected a clean up
of the area on 15th June. The clean up was effected by Birkirkara 1st Scout Group
ably led by leader Caroline Borg.
