Richard Bilocca will be heading the country’s waste agency after two-and-a-half years at the helm of the Water Services Corporation.

Bilocca was appointed designate CEO at Wasteserv and will formally start on 16 March, the waste agency said in a statement on Friday.

“Wasteserv Malta extends its gratitude to the outgoing CEO Tonio Montebello for his work throughout the years,” the company said.

Bilocca served at the WSC since October 2017.
