Green Pak installs new glass bottle banks in Attard

Green Pak Coop has installed new glass bottle banks in various spots in Attard. The new bins are meant to supplement those already available at bring-in sites.

Since the 'Recycle on Tuesday' door-to-door collection does not allow glass in its apposite green bags, Green Pak has supplied more glass deposit bins at various points of the locality.

According to statistical analysis, Attard residents are among the highest participants in the door-to-door waste separation scheme.

In recognition of this effort, Green Pak is financing the new deposits. The money saved will be directed by Attard council to other projects for the community.

Acting mayor Stefan Cordina said: "This is a practical example of how the council is working towards environmental awareness in improving the locality's overall environment. The weekly door-to-door recycling collection and the recycling banks will reduce costs for the council as less waste will be sent to landfills and thus less fees will be paid by the council."
