The Carnival festivities generated some 20 tons of waste in Valletta and Floriana, but the Infrastructure Ministry said its workers efficiently carried out clean-ups on all Carnival nights, using bowsers to wash the streets.

Last night, as soon as the defile' was over in St Anne Street, Floriana, some 25 workers moved in to clean up the road and its environs, using water bowsers. St Anne Street was reopened after about two hours. 

The streets of Valletta and St George's Square were similarly cleaned.

Of the 20 tons of waste collected, 11 tons were generated yesterday, which was the final night. An extra 100 waste bins were provided for the Carnival days.

The ministry said officials will assess what went on over the past days for better coordination in the future, particularly over when the kiosks should be removed.
