    There are like 4 days a year everyone just puts their old sofas, broken TVs and other junk outside to be collected by a garbage truck the next day. As this furniture is mostly usable, people in white vans go around to collect the most valuable stuff, which makes up most of the traffic in villages on those days and causes old people to complain about Polish immigrants.

    The village children also have a look around if the weather is nice.

      I don’t think the furniture thing is that unique. I’ve been in a few countries where that’s called a council pickup and pretty common.
