This weekend, 21-22 May, residents of Haabersti, Mustamäe, Nõmme and Pirita will be able to dispose of both hazardous waste and reusable items at a collection stop near their homes.
In the vote on Tallinn's 2023 inclusive budget, projects that promote healthy and mobile lifestyles in an urban space close to nature and bring additional amenities to recreational areas were successful.
In the field of education, attention was paid to improving the indoor climate and accessibility of schools and renovating kindergartens, while a major challenge was to solve the educational problems of children of war refugees from Ukraine.
Tallinn will continue to compensate families for the increase in kindergarten fees in the new year - parents will receive a subsidy or compensation if the child and at least one parent are continuously resident in Tallinn from 31 December 2022 onwards.
Next year's budget for Tallinn's education sector includes a pay rise for school and nursery school teachers. The 2023 budget also includes increased payments for school lunches and other investments for educational establishments.
Starting from 1 August, several bus line numbers and routes will be changed – the changes will affect lines number 5, 6, 8, 17, 17A, 35, 42, 43, 48, 67 and 68.
City Government submitted Tallinn’s consolidated annual financial reports for the year 2022 to the Council for approval – at the end of last year, the consolidation group had a revenue of 89 million euros, total assets of 2.13 billion euros and net assets of 1.66 billion euros.
Due to the LHV Women’s Run in Pirita, on Saturday 20 May from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm, the locations of bus stops of lines 1, 5, 8, 34 and 38 on Pirita tee in the direction leading out of the city will be changed. The Kose tee section between Pirita tee and Rummu tee will be closed, and the routes of bus lines 5 and 6 will be changed in both directions.
On the weekends of 10–11 May and 17–18 May, the City of Tallinn will once again organise collection rounds for hazardous household waste and reusable items. These rounds allow residents to conveniently, safely, and sustainably dispose of hazardous materials and give new life to items they no longer need.
