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.

As part of a charity campaign that took place throughout September, 75 schools across Estonia, including 8 Tallinn schools, received slacklines to promote physical activity among students.

At the beginning of the summer, Tallinn opened fourteen school stadiums and sports grounds for public use, at least one in each district. From Friday 15 July, the Mustjõe Secondary School stadium in Haabersti district, located at Paldiski mnt 83, will be added to the list. In addition, four sports fields managed by the Tallinn Culture and Sports Department are open for public.

Tallinn residents will be able to dispose of bulky waste at waste stations free of charge from 22 to 28 August. Waste stations and hazardous waste collection points will be closed on 20 August, the Day of Restoration of Independence.

During the two previous weekends, Tallinn residents brought in 25 735, 96 kg of hazardous waste and eight tonnes of usable items. The residents of Tallinn can dispose of household hazardous waste in waste collection points. The Tallinn Waste Management Centre has six collection points for hazardous waste, which are open at weekends. The service is free of charge.

In the coming week, from 21 to 27 November, residents of Tallinn will once again dispose of bulky waste at waste collection points free of charge.

Although bulky waste is covered by the organised waste collection scheme and need to be handed over on a separate agreement with your waste collector, Tallinn residents will again be able to drop off bulky waste free of charge at all waste collection stations in Tallinn for a week (9-15 May) as part of Environment Month.

Used car tyres resulting from the spring tyre replacement can be disposed of free of charge at a collection point or a waste station.

All four waste stations in Tallinn are open every day from the beginning of April to provide smoother service. The stations switch to summer operation on 1 April, which also means longer opening hours.

Organised for the first time, the free bulky waste collection week resulted in ten times as much bulky waste collected at Tallinn's waste collection stations than during the usual week in March. A total of 1 472 cubic metres of bulky waste was collected at the stations during the week, up from 125 cubic metres a week earlier.
