During the European Week for Waste Reduction in November, residents of Tallinn donated nearly 3,000 kilograms of household items for recycling. The collection campaign was organised in cooperation between the Re-Use Centre and the City of Tallinn.
Seven of Tallinn's eight COVID prevention points will be closed from 24 to 26 December, while the Vabaduse Square point will remain open on 26 December. On New Year's Eve, all points will be open until 19:00, and on 1 January they will all be closed.
For the second year in a row, Tallinn will organise New Year's Eve fireworks displays in several different locations to make them as dispersed and safe as possible. The Tallinn City Government and the Estonian Society for the Protection of Animals jointly invite Tallinners to forgo personal fireworks and take part in the controlled fire shows organised by the city.
In the vote on Tallinn's participatory budget, the citizens supported projects that bring greenery, outdoor recreation equipment and amenities to parks and other recreational areas.
