Waste management.

Malta separates waste into different bags and bins.

Usually black bag is for general waste.

Grey bag is for recyclable waste.

And organic bag is used for food waste.

On the first and third Friday of the month, glass is also collected.

Your local council will give you a schedule for waste collection.

It's important to follow the timetable and put your bags outside at the right

time. This keeps streets clean and avoids fines.

For bulky refuse collection, please contact your local council.

Another way to recycle paper, metal, plastic and glass is by making use of

-bins placed around Malta and Gozo.

deposit beverage containers in return for a voucher that can be exchanged in

shops.
