On the weekends of 10–11 May and 17–18 May, the City of Tallinn will once again organise collection rounds for hazardous household waste and reusable items. These rounds allow residents to conveniently, safely, and sustainably dispose of hazardous materials and give new life to items they no longer need.
During the last two weekends of October, residents of Tallinn can once again give away hazardous waste free of charge. On October 23, hazardous waste are collected in Kesklinn and Lasnamäe, on October 24 in Kristiine and Põhja-Tallin, on October 30 in Pirita and Mustamäe, and on October 31 in Haabersti and Nõmme.
By Tuesday evening, 15,922 voters had cast their votes in Tallinn polling places, which is a little over half of the people who had voted in polling places all over Estonia.
Every resident of Tallinn at least 14 years old can take part in Tallinn's participatory budget vote, which opened on Monday, and vote for up to two ideas of their choice in their own neighbourhood.
The capital will burst into bloom for its birthday as by Tallinn Day, tens of thousands of permanent and summer flowers will be planted in the public urban space.

In order to better match the donations of helpful citizens of Tallinn with the urgent needs of war refugees from Ukraine, Tallinn is organising a collection of everyday items in the district administrations from Thursday, 10 March.
Tallinners have donated large quantities of essential items to the Ukrainian war refugees through their district governments, but at the moment collection points are only accepting basic hygiene items, which are still in great need.
