Magħtab

Magħtab is a Maltese village within the local council of Naxxar.[1][2] Magħtab is mostly known for Malta's largest landfill. Since Malta joined the E.U in 2004, the landfill has been closed.[3] Rehabilitation of the closed landfill is in progress.[4] The Il-Widna acoustic mirror is located 1,410 metres (1,540 yd). The hill of Ġebel San Pietru is also located within the confines of Magħtab.
