Today, the Tallinn City Government sent a draft decision to the City Council to rename the Tallinna Jäätmekeskus (Tallinn Waste Center) as the Tallinna Ringmajanduskeskus (Tallinn Circular Economy Center). The name change reflects the shift in focus from waste management to circular economy activities.
Tallinn's waste stations and circular economy center are inviting visitors for educational tours, welcoming kindergarten and primary school groups as well as businesses and institutions. These environmental education tours provide practical advice on sorting waste and demonstrate how old items can be repurposed.
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.
During the last two weekends of October, residents of Tallinn can once again give away hazardous waste free of charge. On October 23, hazardous waste are collected in Kesklinn and Lasnamäe, on October 24 in Kristiine and Põhja-Tallin, on October 30 in Pirita and Mustamäe, and on October 31 in Haabersti and Nõmme.
