I find it interesting that when someone moves out of an apartment (our entire neighborhood is apartment living), they leave what they don’t want to take with them behind, out on the sidewalk. I suppose anyone can take anything they like.
It’s not uncommon to see beds, bed frames, cupboards ripped from walls and old appliances sitting in the street. In many places the previous renter must strip the apartment clean of cabinetry, shelves, built-ins or appliances. Nothing is left behind for the next renter. There are designated days when the trash men pick up what’s left and haul it to a land fill.
This is curious to me in a country so very conscious of recycling and saving their planet. There seems to be so much waste on moving day.
