To promote the separate collection of bio-waste, Tallinn is distributing bio-waste collection containers free of charge to everybody interested.

From Thursday next week, 1 June, the separate collection of bio-waste will become mandatory on all properties in Tallinn, regardless of the intended purpose or number of apartments.

Compared to 2021, separating all waste by type has become a bit more popular. Of the types of waste, 75% of Tallinn residents collect paper and cardboard, plastic containers, glass containers, hazardous waste and electric and electronic waste separately. 87% of the residents of Tallinn collect paper and cardboard separately.

To promote separate collection of bio-waste, the City of Tallinn will provide residents of detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses and two-apartment houses with home composters and collection containers on preferential terms. Applications will be accepted from 15 September until composters and bins are available.
