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.

This autumn, the City of Tallinn and the FinEst Centre for Smart Cities have launched a pilot project in which city buses and waste collection vehicles will begin detecting damaged or missing traffic signs. Smart sensors, or cameras, installed on the vehicles will transmit real-time information to the city about the condition of traffic signs.

From 15 to 17 October, the Tallinn Smart City Center hosted URBREATH project partners, who gathered in Tallinn to jointly assess the progress made so far and discuss the next steps.

This year, the City of Tallinn has revised the fundamental principles of its sports support system for children and young people. The reform aims to encourage participation in organised physical activity by increasing both the number of children eligible for support and the amount of support per child. Starting next year, the support will extend to 35,000 young Tallinn residents, with the total funding volume rising to €12 million.

From October onwards, Tallinn Zoo and Tallinn Botanical Garden will join the Museum Sundays programme. This pilot project will run until the end of 2025, after which its impact and visitor feedback will be assessed to decide on the next steps.
