As part of the European Week for Waste Reduction being celebrated between the 19th and 26th of November 2011, the Xaghra Local Council is organising various activities to insist with the general public about the importance of waste separation and recycling.

This is the final year of the 3-year project supported by the Life+ Programme of the European Commission. This week is aimed at all European citizens to learn how to reduce waste.

This event also promotes sustainable waste reduction across European countries and urges changes in the habits of Europeans (production, consumption) in everyday life. Another aim is to instill awareness about waste reduction regulations and about its policies of the European Union. It serves as an informational week for everyone, to make a change for a better future. Waste Serv is the official organiser in Malta of this European Event.

This coming Friday, the 25th of November, the Local Council in collaboration with the Gozo College Xaghra Primary is organising an activity for Year 5 children as part of the ‘Clean Up the World’ campaign. Fifteen children are going to participate.

On Saturday the 26th of November, the Council in collaboration with Electrowaste Malta Limited will organise a session during which unwanted clothes will be collected. This activity will be held between 9am and noon in Victory Square. During the same time, an activity for children will take place with the participation of Ms. Mary Portelli www.gozomosaic.com.

The Xaghra Local Council is inviting residents to take part in these activities especially those held on Saturday morning.
