The Tallinn City Government has approved a regulation banning the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) advertising materials in public space. Tallinn is the first European capital to introduce such a restriction in the field of outdoor advertising. The decision stems from the city’s commitment to protecting residents’ health and the environment, and to steering public visual communication toward more sustainable practices.

As part of Tallinn’s participatory budget initiative “A City Created Together,” 314 original ideas were submitted and will be introduced during public discussions taking place in all city districts from 21 May to 5 June.

This year marks the 777th anniversary of the day Tallinn received Lübeck city rights. This important historical milestone will be celebrated for the 24th time with Tallinn Day, taking place from 12–18 May. A full week of events and activities awaits all residents and visitors.

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.
