The Environmental Protection Bureau (DSPA) announced yesterday that it will launch a scheme for the recycling of various light fittings in May, as well as a number of other schemes to be launched later this year with the aim of reducing waste.
The bureau hosted a press conference yesterday in an auditorium at the CEM Headquarters in Estrada D. Maria II to brief the media about its upcoming measures and activities with the aim of reducing waste.
According to the press conference, the light fittings in the recycling scheme will include fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lights (formally known as compact fluorescent lamps, CFLs), LED lamps, incandescent light bulbs, and spotlights. Collection boxes will be installed at various venues across the city when the scheme is launched next month. No details on the venues were provided during yesterday’s press conference, according to which the details will be announced on the bureau’s website in due course.
