Students of both St. Anne’s and Bishop Fitzgerald middle schools recently visited the rubbish separation plant in Los Barrios. The children followed the route that our rubbish travels on a daily basis and were made aware of the importance of recycling. They also discovered that each resident of Gibraltar throws, on average, a shocking 1 tonne of rubbish every year.

Commenting on the initiative, Education Minister Gilbert Licudi explained that educating children on rec-cycling and processing household waste will undoubtedly lead to a more environmentally friendly approach to the disposal of rubbish.
