Unfortunately, a third clean-up planned for Monday had to be cancelled due to bad weather.

Despite this, the efforts resulted in an astounding haul of waste, with categories including:

• Plastic: 122.76kg
• Glass: 64.70kg
• Metal: 264.40kg
• Mixed waste: 311.20kg
• Fishing: 22.82kg

The collaboration has showcased the power of community and this isn’t even the final amount of waste collected over the past three days with waste from the Żibel Tribe Bins still needs to be weighed.

With Żibel Tribe Bins located around the Maltese coastline, people can contribute year-round by helping to clean up the shores.

How to Use the Żibel Tribe Bins

Here’s how you can get involved and help keep Malta’s seas clean:

1. Collect Marine Plastic: Gather any plastic or waste you find during your coastal clean-up.
2. Find the Closest Tribe Bin: Locate a Tribe bin nearby.
3. Scan the QR Code: Use your phone to scan the code on the bin.
4. Enter Details & Item Count: Fill in quick details and enter how many items you’re disposing of.
5. Take a Photo: Snap a quick photo of your collection.
6. Unlock & Deposit: Use the code to unlock the bin, deposit the waste, and lock it back up.

These bins are designed for easy access to anyone willing to help keep our coastline free of plastic. It’s a year-round initiative aimed at tackling the plastic pollution problem one clean-up at a time.

Whether you’re inspired by Agius’ swim or just want to do your part, keeping our shores clean has never been easier.
