The article states that there will be 10 bins installed in 10 different locations. Where do yall think we need them most?
I would like to throw 3 cities in the ring for such a bin.
We are getting underground bins!

10 in 10 towns….its a start, but needs to be in every neighborhood.
They need to start with Sliema, St Julian’s, Swieqi, San Gwann etc. Basically, high population areas where tourists also rent.
Interesting. I have a question though: how often are they planning on emptying them, especially during summer time? On a daily basis, every week or whenever they’re full up?
If it’s the last one, anyway far from me, thank you.
L-aqwa they already arguing who came up with the ideas…… The Netherlands did in 1993. How are these people meant to run the country ? Children
I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s easy to have press conferences and fancy information sheets. Getting it done properly is a completely different story.
On paper and everywhere else, they look great and I’ve been intrigued ever since I saw them implemented elsewhere.
My concern is that these bins only tackle the volume of waste, and not the infringement which is a bigger issue (people taking out waste on incorrect days, not separating properly etc).
This is a very bad idea. Construction companies will earn money, and then someone will be profiting off the big bags (they need to be changed quite regularly and cost even more than standard plastic trash bin), but such bins are breeding ground for rodents, fungal growths and such.
This might help to resolve the issue of Airbnb guests leaving their rubbish behind.
When Airbnb renters leave in the middle of the week, their rubbish has to wait until the Saturday morning collection. As it’s not possible to leave the bags on the premises, and the owners are unwilling to store them or pay a company to dispose of them properly, most of the time the bags are taken out on the wrong day.
Installing underground bins could help to tackle this issue.
Finally they’re understanding that leave rubbish out of the door isn’t a good idea 🤣🤣
