Safe disposal of drug-related items

WasteServ Malta Ltd is urging the public to collect and safely dispose of needles, syringes, expired medicine and other drug-related items at its civic amenity sites in Mrieħel and Magħtab.

Persons can collect a special container free of charge from the sites and, once deposited in the correct way, are given another free box to be used until the next visit.

The waste deposited in the hazardous waste container is later treated by WasteServ in a safe manner in compliance with local and foreign legislation.

WasteServ's civic amenity sites allow the public to drive through and separately dispose of different materials including electronic waste, used furniture items, garden waste, cardboard, mattresses and waste oils. Containers to receive the waste fractions, which are normally deposited at the bring-in sites, are also available at these facilities.

The sites are open to receive and assist the public from 7.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. daily, including weekends and public holidays.

For more information on exact directions to visit any of the civic amenity sites call Freephone 8007 2200.
