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. Village adults don't, not because they are above it, but since there is a genuine risk a neighbour you've known for decades will sue you for stealing; the garbage does belong to them still as the courts have determined.
Edit: Sorry for forgetting the most important part.
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.
Every third monday of the month in my town
Sounded like hungary until the "old people to complain about Polish immigrants" part
Here they complain about gypsies
Well that just sounds like New Jersey.
