From 4–7 August, Tallinn will host the 57th International Children’s Games (ICG) – the world’s largest multi-sport event for 12–15-year-olds, officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee. The competition brings together city delegations from across the globe.

Starting from 1 August, Tallinn residents can for the first time dispose of biodegradable garden waste — such as leaves and flowers — in large quantities free of charge at the Liiva transfer station, located at Kalmistu tee 34. The garden waste will be loaded onto trucks and taken to a treatment facility for composting, while branches will be shredded and used for fuel. This free drop-off option offers added convenience for residents who lack composting options at home or have waste volumes too large for home composting.

Tallinn will allocate additional funding to improve access to services for preventing and alleviating mental health problems in the city’s budget next year.
