Last week, special litter bins were installed on the beaches of the Põhja-Tallinn district to prevent cigarette butts from ending up in the sea. The material collected in the bins will later be given a new life as 3D printing filament. This is initially a pilot project that will run for two months.

The deadline for submitting smart city solutions for the €100 000 Tallinnovation innovation competition is 15 September.

From 15 to 17 September, thousands of lights will be lit in Kadriorg Park, Pae Park, Tallinn Old Town and Männi Park, inviting residents and visitors to take an illuminated walk. The theme of this year's outdoor light festival 'Valgus Kõnnib' (Wandering Lights Festival) is "Stories of the night".

Tomorrow, 13 October, construction work will begin in the Seli forest, which was cleaned up this spring, during which the Seli forest will be transformed into a safe family park.

The Tallinnovation competition, which supports smart city solutions, received ten applications this year.

In August this year, 20 special litter bins were installed on the shores of the northern part of Tallinn to prevent cigarette butts from entering the sea. The pilot project lasted for two months, during which time around 11 000 cigarette butts were collected from the bins, which will later be given a new life as 3D printing material.

Next year's draft city budget foresees a total of €50.1 million for operating expenditure and investments in the area of environment and environmental protection.
