In the last quarter of the year, the Tallinn Strategic Management Office, in collaboration with PrügiBinGo, undertook a thorough inspection of mixed domestic waste containers to understand the current state of waste sorting among the city's residents. This survey, which randomly examined 900 such containers over ten observation days, primarily targeted households that have been authorized by district governments to compost at the source.

Over the past two years, a comprehensive environmental education program has been conducted in Tallinn’s kindergartens and schools, teaching children to reduce waste and reuse items. The program involved 125 kindergartens and 55 schools, and activities were also held at public events, engaging approximately 31,300 children in total.
