          Where to donate culinary magazines in English?
          It might be best to bring your magazines to a book exchange shelf in a library. You can leave your own used books and magazines there. You can also take any interesting book you find. There is a book exchange shelf in at least 42 libraries. You can find a list of those libraries here: http://www.helmet.fi/en-US/Libraries_and_services Open the "Show libraries that have" -menu and click on "Book Exchange". 15.7.2017 10:36Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

          Hello, I can't renew my loan it says "Not all renewals were successful. See details below." Below
          I cannot find any reason why you should not have been able to renew your loan. (Possible reasons would be e.g. too many renewals, too much unpaid fees, loss of the right to borrow, etc. but none of these apply to you.) Anyway, I now renewed your loan. The new due date is 10.3.2017. If you still have problems in renewing your loans, please contact any Helmet library. 10.2.2017 13:32Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

          Lpg cylinders with their valves still intact are categorized as hazardous waste and should be disposed in a waste collection center such as the HSL Sortti-stations. Since the Lpg-canister in question is considered as household waste, a store selling them isn't required to collect or dispose the canisters. For a household with no car, you can use public transports. The two Sortti-stations in Helsinki are in Kivikonlaita 5, 00940 HELSINKI and Betonitie 3, 00390 HELSINKI.
