The Ministry for Gozo is cleaning and collecting waste from Santa Marija Bay and the Blue Lagoon three times a day in order to keep these busy bays clean during the summer months.
Data for the month of June, shows that over 31 tons of trash were collected. On average, 2,100 bags of trash are collected and disposed of every week from Comino.
The Ministry would also like to draw the attention to the fact that while the beach is for everyone to enjoy, bathers, contractors and users alike need to respect the environment and look after the beach as well.
