The Cleansing and Maintenance Division from within the Ministry for Tourism were massively praised for their hard work, given that it rarely gets any recognition.
A woman by the name of Michela Spiteri took a snapshot of the work being done, which occurs 24/7 all over the island. Spiteri highlighted how the workers are removing gum from the pavements and that it takes around 5 to 10 minutes to remove just one piece.
This is because the gum sticks itself quite strongly to the pavement, becoming embedded and a dark gooey substance.
‘Seeing the work like this makes me realise how hard it is. Next time you thoughtlessly think of throwing your gum or anything on the pavement, think of this’.
The post was reshaped by Ramon Deguara, Director General with the division. He said that this photo captures only just a fraction of the commitment.
He said that this work occurs everyday from Monday to Sunday and practically on a 24 hour basis. ‘Making use of all the possible technologies in the industry’, the division is working hard to ‘keep our country clean, tidy and well-kept.’
