The traditional Market night in Funchal was a great success, although I am suffering a tiny bit of a hangover today.
The reusable plastic cups which were introduced have helped cut down the rubbish for the night. 15 tons of rubbish has been collected down 6 tons on last year.
The clean-up operation involved 106 employees and 40 vehicles from the Municipality of Funchal.
