Zminijietna – Voice of the Left has said in a statement that the Government should introduce new measures with regards waste separation and recycling. “As things stand, Malta is far away from reaching the European 2030 target to recycle 70% of the national waste generated.”
Zminijietna urged the Government to start incentivising the separation and recycling of domestic waste, by giving out coupons or vouchers in relation to the amount of waste separated and collected per house. “This measure will benefit and encourage families to recycle more.”
Zminijietna concluded by saying, “other measures should be the installation in various localities of the ‘reverse vending machines’ which are used to collect aluminium cans, while paying back people for the amount of cans recycled through this system.”

Would love to know how they are going to measure each household recycling when they just throw it in the collector truck. Are they going to have scales and weigh every bag and then record each one. I don the think so
