In October, the City of Tallinn offers residents a free and convenient way to hand over bulky waste, hazardous waste, and reusable items in an environmentally conscious manner.

In spring, it will be easier for people in the green capital to hand over scrap tyres. They can bring their used car tyres to any of the capital’s waste treatment facilities – Paljassaare, Pärnamäe, Rahumäe and Pääsküla. The Loksa waste treatment facility will also accept scrap tyres from businesses.

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.

Grazing season has begun at the Paljassaare beach meadow – the Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department initiative to maintain beach meadows with the help of Highland cattle for the sixth year running.

During the weekends of October 21-22 and October 28-29, Tallinn residents can dispose of hazardous waste and reusable items at local collection events.

On 22 May, Rahumäe waste transfer station will be closed for one month due to necessary construction works; customers will be directed to other waste transfer stations during this time.

Next week, from 21-27 August, people residing in Tallinn according to the population register can drop off bulky waste, such as unusable furniture, bicycles and baby prams, at the city's waste transfer stations for free.

At 14:00 on Saturday, 15 July, a second legal graffiti wall will be opened in Põhja-Tallinn, at the site of an old wall located at 2 Paljassaare Road.

During the free bulky waste disposal week on 21-27 August, seven times more bulky waste was brought to waste stations than on an average August week.

During the last two weekends of October, residents of Tallinn participated in a city-organized collection drive, handing over approximately 23,930.90 kilograms of hazardous waste and 107 cubic meters of reusable items. Tallinn residents have the ongoing opportunity to dispose of their hazardous household waste at no cost at six designated collection points throughout the city and at four waste treatment plants all year round.
