Birkirkara local council has signed an agreement with the GreenPak Coop Society, which is now providing waste recovery services to over half the households in Malta and Gozo.
With a potential to recover 44 tons of recyclable waste per week, currently Birkirkara is recovering only 14.2 tons per week. GreenPak promotes waste separation by providing free recycling bags, recycling banks, kerbside collections and direct collections from commercial outlets.
New services, including the kerbside collection of glass, will be introduced as from February 2014.
