On the 19th July 2006 the Xewkija Local Council organized a public meeting about the Waste Transfer Station that is being proposed to be constructed at the area known as Tal-Kus, limits of Xewkija.  The Local Council is objecting about this project since this Waste Transfer Station will ruin the environment at Tal-Kus.  Besides it will also affect the Xewkija residents for various reasons including odours coming from the same station.

For this public meeting officials from the MEPA and the Wasteserv Ltd were invited but they did not attend.  Ministry for Gozo, Hon. Giovanna Debono and Ministry for the Environment Hon. George Pullicino were also invited  but they failed to attend for the meeting.
