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.

Tallinn's 2023 budget includes bridge funding through Tallinn Industrial Parks to start construction of the Tallinn Film Wonderland. In the area of entrepreneurship, attention will also be paid to promoting Tallinn as an attractive tourist destination, supporting small businesses and green innovation. Operational expenditure is planned to be €2.6 million.

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.

Tallinn will distribute a total of 100 separate waste collection kits to 17 educational institutions in this spring, with an aim to improve the efficiency of separate waste collection in schools and hobby schools.

According to the new waste management plan, Tallinn will expand separate collection of biowaste and textile waste, and turn waste collection stations into circular economy centres.

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

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.

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.

People living in Tallinn according to the population register will be able to dispose of bulky waste such as furniture, bicycles and prams free of charge at the city's waste stations.
