Starting from 1 August, Tallinn residents can for the first time dispose of biodegradable garden waste — such as leaves and flowers — in large quantities free of charge at the Liiva transfer station, located at Kalmistu tee 34. The garden waste will be loaded onto trucks and taken to a treatment facility for composting, while branches will be shredded and used for fuel. This free drop-off option offers added convenience for residents who lack composting options at home or have waste volumes too large for home composting.
