Kids can be seen running back onto the beach after having spotted it whilst on a platform. It is unclear what happened to the fish after the footage ended.

No fish farm has yet come forward to claim the tuna, which is a very common delicacy on the island.

14,000 Bottles Collected During Zebbug Village Feast

Jun 21 2023

Around 14,000 bottles and cans were collected during the Żebbuġ feast after a temporary BCRS machine was placed in the middle of the village square.

This green initiative was a successful spin on those carried out in 2019 and 2022 wherein, as local councillor Steve Zammit Lupi explained, 1,000 bottles were collected.

‘With the 10c incentive we collected 14 times the amount. There is not doubt that the system saw more cleanliness in the streets during the feast’ explained Zammit Lupi.

The 2019 and 2022 initiatives saw a massive net for bottles, but the introduction of the BCRS vending machines meant a new way to keep the roads clean could be undertaken.

‘Shop and band club owners took the initiative to separate the bottles and cans from the rest of the thrown away trash’, he continued.

‘Some kids turned the initiative into a game and cashed the vouchers in sweets from shops. There were people who collected the bottles to cash them out themselves. I know of people who cashed out €50 or €100 extra in a week.’

Lupi argued against people who claimed that such initiatives pushed Malta back 30 years. ‘We would remain stuck in the past if this rubbish is to be thrown away at a dump. Waste management is a collective responsibility!’
