Minister for the Environment Miriam Dalli visited Birżebbuġa Primary School as part of WasteServ’s ongoing educational campaign aimed at promoting environmental awareness and responsible waste disposal among students.
The initiative, which includes schools across Malta, focuses on teaching children how to properly dispose of electronic waste and recyclables.
Minister Dalli engaged with students through interactive, hands-on activities such as games and storytelling, helping them understand how their daily choices impact the environment. The visit aimed to make sustainability education both fun and impactful.
She praised the efforts of WasteServ and school staff, stating, “Educating our children on sustainability is one of the most effective ways to secure a greener, safer future for all.”
The visit also highlighted WasteServ’s broader commitment to safety, including its recent investment in a dedicated fire engine.
This move comes in response to the increasing risks posed by the improper disposal of electronic waste, which can lead to dangerous fires if not handled correctly.
The public is urged to use Civic Amenity Sites or WasteServ’s Roadshow Truck for safe disposal of electronics. This initiative reflects Malta’s growing emphasis on environmental responsibility through education, infrastructure, and community outreach.
