Bulky waste is large waste that does not fit into an ordinary rubbish container – furniture, mattresses, carpets and other large items, for example. It must not be put in with household rubbish or left beside a rubbish container.
Where can you take bulky waste in Tallinn?
Bulky waste is accepted by the Tallinn waste stations (Pärnamäe, Pääsküla, Rahumäe, Paljassaare) and the circular economy centres (Lilleküla, Lasnamäe). If you have no car or there are a lot of items, we take them there for you.
What cannot be handed over as bulky waste?
The waste station does not accept mixed municipal waste. We do not transport hazardous waste (paints, varnishes, oils, chemicals). Construction waste has its own rate – see construction waste removal.
