Kristjan Järvan, the Deputy Mayor of Tallinn responsible for municipal and business affairs, stated that residents of Tallinn are likely to experience a staggering 75% increase in household waste collection fees starting this summer. This announcement follows the local government's initial decision not to raise taxes, which the current council had implemented to support residents amid ongoing economic challenges. Järvan explained that upon reviewing national reforms, it has become clear that significant tax hikes related to waste management imposed by the state were unavoidable.
