Activists retrieve 2 illegally-dumped fridges from Marsaxlokk shore

Earlier this week, environmental activists from Maltese NGO Zibel retrieved two illegally dumped fridges in Hofriet, Marsaxlokk.

The post reported that the fridges were dumped over the edge of the cliff and on the coastline, with the Zibel team collecting them soon after. A post on Zibel’s social media highlighted how, apart from the fridges’ metal and plastic parts, they also contain chemicals and materials that are harmful to human and marine life.

“Aside from the fact that a beach is no place to dump anything after all”, the social media post concluded.

The organisation is no stranger to environmental clean-ups and awareness efforts, recently also organising the famed ‘KAXXA’ at the Balzan village feast, encouraging attendees and passers-by to dispose of their plastic bottles in the recycled structure.
