MDA on illegal dumping of construction waste

The Malta Developers Association strongly condemns any illegally dumping of construction waste in public open areas in the countryside or any other sites where this waste is not permitted to be dumped. MDA notes that legitimate concerns about the adverse effect of this dumping on countryside views, made in the written and social media, have recently increased.

Despite realising the current difficulties related to the dumping of construction waste, MDA does not condone such illegal dumping and takes a very serious view against this practice.

MDA appeals to the Government and the authorities to take severe action against the perpetrators of this illegal dumping, who should face drastic consequences for their criminal actions, including the suspension of the licences of the vehicles used for this dumping.

The MDA will also be co-operating with the authorities in their quest to find the perpetrators of this malpractice.
