Separate collection of waste by citizens

In Harku municipality, as in many others, waste separation remains a significant challenge. Residents are not always aware which item goes into which container, and incorrect sorting generates additional costs while reducing recycling efficiency. The problem is aggravated by population growth in settlements near Tallinn.
Since 2024, separate collection of bio-waste has become mandatory, and due to the national waste reform, recycling targets have become much stricter. This means the municipality needs solutions that help residents sort waste conveniently and correctly, raise awareness, and enable compliance with legally binding targets.
