Allow me to point out that the (dark green) litter bins which had been removed from Floriana due to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI/Joseph Ratzinger’s visit to Malta on 17 April, have not yet been put back in place.

When I contacted the Cleansing Services Department (Resources and Rural Affairs Ministry) on 28 April, I was told that they will not be returned before the next three weeks at least, (since new ones were expected from abroad).

One wonders whether the Environmental Upgrade Committee (Office of the Prime Minister) will send photos of rubbish accumulated due to this pig headed policy to the Department for Local Government as it usually does when it rushes into print.
