A project to extract and eliminate harmful gases at the former Magħtab landfill is drawing to a close, and the government is allocating €30 million for the rehabilitation of the site, as well as the former landfills at Qortin and Wied Fulija. President Eddie Fenech Adami toured the Magħtab landfill yesterday with Resources Minister George Pullicino and Wasteserv officials.

The minister explained that with the closure of the landfills, new waste disposal measures were being taken, including the creation of engineered landfills, a waste recycling plant and a thermal treatment facility.
