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.

This year, 428 abandoned vehicles have been removed from Tallinn's urban space under the auspices of the Municipal Police Office, and 275 more are in the process of being removed. This will free up valuable parking spaces in the city and improve the quality of street maintenance.

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.

This weekend, Tallinners can get involved in a series of community clean-ups and help make the city cleaner as part of the Let's Do It campaign. Helping hands are welcome in Põhja-Tallinn, Haabersti, Kesklinn, Nõmme and Kristiine districts, and activities take place on Friday and Saturday.

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.

The updated edition of the "ABCs of Public Facilities and Maintenance" guide, which provides information on the urban environment, birds and animals, waste, playgrounds and cemeteries, is available on the Tallinn Maintenance Month website. The guide is published in Estonian, Russian and English.

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.

Tallinn started its spring cleaning this week, with the work lasting at least a month depending on weather conditions. The first areas to be cleared are the main streets, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, pavements and public transport waiting areas, where debris and dirt accumulated over the winter will be removed. Spring cleaning will end with a major street wash.
