WasteServ has announced that it is currently reforming the bring-in sites collection system, which has intensified significantly in the past few years.

The purpose of this modification is to enhance this system for the benefit of the general public, now that the bring-in sites project has been so successful with residents in most localities around Malta and Gozo that it has outgrown its collection system.

The reformed system is intended to include more frequent cleaning of the bring-in sites, a revision of the routes to increase efficiency, and monitoring of the sites so that they will be maintained in a clean state.

WasteServ also added that until the new system comes in force, the already set up sites will continue to be emptied with the current system as usual. However, it was decided that for the time being, installation of new bring-in sites will be restricted.

The reason behind this is to have new sites integrated with the enhanced system once it starts operating in the coming weeks.

WasteServ, in association with local councils, has established bring-in sites where the public is able to deliver clean, source-segregated recyclable materials. The bring-in sites consist of four containers: blue for plastic, white for paper, brown for glass and black for metal. So far, there are around 185 bring-in sites around Malta and Gozo.

Through the EU Structural Funding, WasteServ aims at introducing around 400 bring-in sites around the Maltese islands.

WasteServ would like to take the opportunity to thank all stakeholders, especially the general public, who contributed to the success of the bring-in sites project.
