Mount Etna in Italy erupted spectacularly with lava and ash earlier this week. Located on the island of Sicily, the eruption prompted Italy’s Civil Protection agency to elevate the alert level from green to yellow. Lava cascaded down the slopes of the approximately 3,300-meter-high volcano.

Labour MP and Parliamentary Secretary for Public Cleanliness, Glenn Bedingfield, recently revealed that Clean Malta employees are collecting approximately 45 tonnes of illegal waste daily, which is equivalent to the weight of two double-decker buses. Bedingfield highlighted this in a Tweet, emphasising the significant challenge faced in maintaining public cleanliness.

He stressed that keeping Malta clean should be a collective effort and urged residents to act more responsibly with their waste disposal. Bedingfield’s message underscores the importance of community involvement in addressing the persistent issue of illegal waste dumping.

Clean Malta, the cleansing and maintenance department, frequently shares updates on their efforts via their official social media pages. These updates include images and videos of the ongoing work being done to keep the streets and public areas clean. By showcasing their daily activities, Clean Malta aims to raise awareness about the scale of their operations and the importance of proper waste disposal.
