Most communities in Germany have once per year a household trash day. No garbage is allowed, just furniture, clothing, electronics, coolers, toys and the like. This day usually falls onto a Monday, but people are allowed to put things out to the curb early Sunday morning. The entire day people will stroll down road in the hope to find treasures. The great part is that 30% of the stuff will find another home. What is left will be picked up on Monday. I wish they had something like that here, because it is so much fun.
