Next week, from March 18 to 24, residents of Tallinn will once again have the opportunity to dispose of large waste at waste treatment plants for free.
Starting April 1, all Tallinn waste treatment plants will switch to their summer schedule. The Pääsküla, Rahumäe, Paljassaare, and Pärnamäe waste treatment plants will be open from 12.00 to 20.00 on weekdays and from 10.00 to 18.00 on weekends starting from the beginning of April.
During the first large waste collection campaign of the year, which took place from March 18 to 24, nearly 1,355 cubic meters of large waste were brought to Tallinn's waste stations.
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.
From Saturday, 1 April, Tallinn’s waste treatment facilities will start following a summer work schedule which means that the business hours will be extended during weekdays.
During the free waste collection week, almost three times as much bulky waste was brought to Tallinn’s waste collection stations than during a regular week in November.
From August 12 to August 18, the Tallinn Waste Centre is organizing a campaign for the free disposal of bulk waste, allowing residents of Tallinn to drop off their large waste items at any of the city’s four waste stations.
