WasteServ will be opening four reuse centres to enhance its Civic Amenity Site experience and to further widen the concept of a circular economy.
These centres, which are expected to be opened by the end of the year, will offer used and ‘pre-loved’ items such as ceramics, toys, books, and loose furniture which still hold value and can be reused.
Environment minister Aaron Farrugia visited the Ħal Far Civic Amenity Site where one of the reuse centres will be opening, where he said people will be able to obtain items against a pre-established donation to a fund for environmental initiatives, including a bee conservation programme.

Cllr Dollard is concerned that illegal dumping continues to be a problem and in the city a small clothes recycling collection bin located on the Bennettsbridge Road, has been the target of illegal dumping in the last few months.
