As part of the Islands Cleanup initiative, over 60 volunteers from government entities, NGOs, and private companies participated in a clean-up at White Tower Beach. The event was organised by the Saving Our Blue campaign, Project Green, and Clean Malta.

Environment Minister Miriam Dalli and Parliamentary Secretary for Public Cleanliness Glenn Bedingfield visited the site, praising the volunteers’ efforts. The initiative aims to raise awareness about public cleanliness and tackle illegal dumping while encouraging greater involvement from government bodies, voluntary organisations, and the private sector.

Minister Dalli emphasised that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility and that such events symbolise a shift in mindset, urging proactive action to create a cleaner environment for future generations. Parliamentary Secretary Bedingfield echoed this sentiment, urging citizens to report illegal dumping and participate in national clean-up efforts.

During the event, all illegally dumped materials were sorted on-site, ensuring recyclable items were properly processed to reduce waste going to landfills. The Islands Cleanup initiative continues to organise clean-up activities throughout the year at various beaches and valleys, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
