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.

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.

Today, Tallinn Mayor Mihhail Kõlvart and Reykjavik Mayor Dagur B. Eggertsson met in Tallinn to discuss possibilities for jointly alleviating the crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, as well as ways to help Ukraine and the people fleeing from the war.

Tallinn has set up a website to bring together information on various free cultural and leisure activities for war refugees from Ukraine.

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.

In order to better match the donations of helpful citizens of Tallinn with the urgent needs of war refugees from Ukraine, Tallinn is organising a collection of everyday items in the district administrations from Thursday, 10 March.

Last Sunday, Tallinn started the tradition of Museum Sundays, with free admission to city-owned museums on the first Sunday of every month. Interest in free museum visits was higher than expected on the opening Sunday in all museums.

From March, visitors will be able to visit Tallinn’s museums for free on the first Sunday of every month. The Museum Sundays with free admission is a practice common to many cities in the world.

Due to the high prevalence of viral diseases among drivers and logisticians, the emptying of waste containers in Tallinn may be delayed by a few days compared to the normal schedule.
