Quality and Environmental Policy

In line with Malta’s sustainable environmental and waste management strategy, WasteServ seeks to provide a national service through its waste recovery and treatment processes employed at the Civic Amenity Sites (CAS) in Malta and Gozo. The Civic Amenity Sites have been established to accept separated household waste; additionally, CAS at Ta' Qali, Ħa; far and Tal-Kus are authorised to receive specific commercial waste. The resulting output fractions are directed for further processing, recovery, recycling or disposal at authorised facilities.

The statuses of the objectives are reviewed every four months and discussed in Management Review Meetings when applicable. To implement this policy we have adopted a management system based on the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015.

We are committed to continually improve our management system and its effectiveness constantly and repeatedly through established mechanisms.
