I refer to Derek Fenech’s letter Rubbish Recycling, Or Sort Of, In Sliema! (July 25).

The Sliema local council’s responsibility is to ensure collection of the black bags, while Green MT has been subcontracted to collect the grey recyclable bags. It seems to Mr Fenech that one collector is collecting the entire lot. This either means that the local council’s truck is collecting the lot or Green MT is collecting everything as recyclable.

Either way, the allegations are very serious and deserve that I personally look into the matter. I would appreciate if Mr Fenech were to contact me at the Sliema local council office. In the interim however, Green MT made it clear with the council that inspectors are employed to follow garbage collectors at random to ensure that waste (organic and recyclable) are not mixed.
