Organic bag collection starts today

Today marks the beginning of the new waste collection regulations, and as government promised, stickers have been placed on bags which are being taken out on the wrong day.

People have already noted and posted on Facebook images of bags being taken out on the wrong day, some of which have the aforementioned stickers.

The organic (white) bag will be collected on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while the black and grey/green bag collection days depend on the locality.

Environment Minister Jose Herrera had told The Malta Independent that the new waste collection regulations will not result in immediate fines, stressing that for a short period from when the law comes into force, stickers will be placed on bags brought out on the wrong day in order to better educate the public rather than fines being issued.

However, after this short adjustment period ends, fines will begin to be issued.
