In winter, the area is not ploughed, which may limit the use of the area for receiving soil materials.

The city does not accept small loads of concrete, brick or ceramic waste (trailers, vans, etc.). Such loads must be delivered to the Riikinneva waste disposal centre, where they are collected free of charge.

Reception of snow

No charges are levied for the reception of snow from private properties (OK houses, terraced houses and blocks of flats) for snow-covered parcels managed by the city, even if the snow supplier is a company working on behalf of the property.

or even if the property contains commercial premises in addition to residential apartments. For the reception of snow from areas managed by companies, the contractor may charge 1 e/m3 incl. VAT.
