Winter clean up

It was a messy one! Way too much plastic washed up on the shore. The bulk of it was in the 'nudist' beach, just over the clay cliffs between Riviera and Gnejna. 

8 volunteers got stuck in with a couple new faces amongst the ranks :)

Unfortunately we didn't manage to collect everything on this occasion, but a big dent in the mess was made and many bags were dragged to the top of the stairs to be collected :) 

Many thanks to all involved and to Matt and Fredric for the photos!

Catch you at the next one ;)

Halloween Clean Up

We're happy to report that the beach and the surrounding area was cleaner than we've ever seen it! 

From clean ups which brought in up to 30 bags of rubbish about 3 years ago, we've slowly watched the litter diminish to days like today when only 4 bags or so were filled - and that's including a tour of the car park too! Knowing that people are respecting the land so much more nowadays feels pretty damn good. 

Well, it may be time to spread our wings to different areas of the island in search of places in greater need...

Any suggestions? Do let us know; drop us a line at info@thatsrubbishmalta.com or add us on Facebook.

Thanks to everyone who turned up today, despite the wind and the rain ~

Stay tuned for the next one :)

Summer break

That's Rubbish volunteers!! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have joined us on a cleanup this past season. The summer swelter has kicked in and we will resume these cleanups come end of September.

For those of you who are interested in the That's Rubbish Branches Out project (see Facebook group That's Rubbish Branches Out!) I will be in touch beginning of September to further guide you. Luckily our beaches are better taken care of in the summer months which allows us to take our gloves OFF and kick back. That's Rubbish will be distributing FREE BEACH ASHTRAYS this month (YAY) Thanks to Central Cigarette Company for sponsoring them. BUTT'S over n OUT... Have an EPIC summer ;0)) x

Beach ashtrays!

Yay! Sponsored Beach Ashtrays from The British American Tobacco company. We've got 5000 of these babies to hand out for FREE. Pick ur BUTT'S UP!

Corona Extra saves the beach

That's Rubbish was sent out to clean the beach voted dirtiest by all of you! A SAVE THE BEACH initiative sponsored by Corona Extra. The beach ironically enough voted the filthiest was Pretty Bay in Birzebbugia.

Yup, we sure did put the Pretty back in the bay so here's a cheers to all the pretty ears who heard our shout out for volunteers at Corona Extra Malta Save The Beach cleanup @ Pretty Bay The Bay.

The amount of cigarette butts in the sand was INTENSE! Put your BUTT'S OUT in a responsible place. Each cigarette BUTT takes 12 YEARS to decompose, each one of those years toxins are released into the enviornment. Serious Stuff. Start with where you Stand. Roger.

Thanks to the Save the Beach initiative for taking the time out to give our beaches some much needed attention!
