The Żejtun local council has complained that bring-in sites in the town have not been emptied since May 1.

As a result, it added, mounds of plastic have been dumped by the sites, making the situation intolerable.

The council called for the immediate action and expected WasteServ to apologise to Żejtun residents for the inconvenience and assure them that the incident would not be repeated.

Reacting to this statement, a WasteServ spokesman said that on receiving a request from the council, the company raised the number of bring-in sites by five. Last Monday it emptied the bins containing plastic, on Tuesday those containing paper and yesterday the bins with cans.

Yesterday WasteServ received four trucks of separated waste from households in Żejtun. One of the sites which was full was handled late yesterday on receiving the complaint, the spokesman added.
