I think the time has come for Malta to step up its waste management operation.

The people have to use bags for waste but this is clearly not working anymore. The islands are getting warmer and far more windy, causing waste to get blown down roads and ending up littering areas or, far worse, the sea.

Surely, the government would not hesitate asking the European Union for help and support in implementing a bin system with lids. Having two people on the back of dustcarts is not the answer anymore.
