In Kalasatama, residents can meet one another and bring their ideas to life in shared community spaces. The community spaces, managed by service companies, offer opportunities for collaborative activities and self-expression.
Waste Management
Kalasatama uses a new, innovative pipe-based waste collection system. It represents state-of-the-art technology in the field: waste travels through an underground pipeline network to a collection station, from where it continues on to recycling or incineration.
There are five different hatches for waste: one for organic waste, one for paper, one for cardboard, one for mixed waste, and one for plastic packaging. Each opening can hold a maximum of one 20-liter bag at a time.
The pipe collection system has helped reduce service traffic in the area, making the residential environment safer and more pleasant. Kalasataman jätteen putkikeräys Oy is responsible for operating the system.
