Tallinn, the European Capital of Sport 2025 offers many opportunities to participate in sports and to stay active. The city is full of places where you can exercise for free.

During the weekends of October 21-22 and October 28-29, Tallinn residents can dispose of hazardous waste and reusable items at local collection events.

Starting from November 1, Tallinn's waste treatment plants will switch to a winter schedule. All four waste treatment plants - in Pääsküla, Rahumäe, Paljassaare, and Pärnamäe - will continue to be open seven days a week, but their opening hours will be shorter during the autumn-winter period.

During the last two weekends of October, residents of Tallinn participated in a city-organized collection drive, handing over approximately 23,930.90 kilograms of hazardous waste and 107 cubic meters of reusable items. Tallinn residents have the ongoing opportunity to dispose of their hazardous household waste at no cost at six designated collection points throughout the city and at four waste treatment plants all year round.

From November 20 to 26, the fourth annual large waste disposal campaign of the year will take place. Residents of Tallinn can dispose of their large waste items free of charge at local waste treatment plants.

During this year's final free large waste disposal week from November 20-26, Tallinn's waste treatment plants received seven times more large waste than in a typical week of November. Throughout the year, residents brought a total of 5,592.17 cubic meters of waste to the waste treatment plants, equivalent to approximately 70 truckloads of large waste.

Experts from Tallinn Botanic Garden have conducted studies in recent years, showing that Tallinn has preserved a significant diversity of lichens and mosses, including species that are endangered and protected in Estonia.

Since the beginning of this year, Tallinn's night buses have been operating year-round. In addition to the four routes tested last year, two new routes to Pääsküla and Viimsi have been added. In January, approximately 4,400 people used the night buses, averaging 1,100 passengers each weekend.

Next week, from March 18 to 24, residents of Tallinn will once again have the opportunity to dispose of large waste at waste treatment plants for free.

Starting April 1, all Tallinn waste treatment plants will switch to their summer schedule. The Pääsküla, Rahumäe, Paljassaare, and Pärnamäe waste treatment plants will be open from 12.00 to 20.00 on weekdays and from 10.00 to 18.00 on weekends starting from the beginning of April.
