DVD Dan, I am depressed. I said that THIS happen once or twice a year... I've just realized what i missed. In Belgium, the city collects big stuff about once per month. When I was in MI, I once pass in car beside a full collection of furnitures (among them plenty of mattresses) and I could'nt take them in picture. To comfort myself, I told to myself that the hunt was to easy in the US... actually, I was attending a rare phenomenous

In Flanders, the Flemish speaking part of Belgium, trash is collected on a combined organisation of different communities, thus everywhere different.Where I live we have to separate paper,glas,batteries and such,kitchen en garden things,plastic and al the rest is called restgarbage.It is collected in bags, in bins.We all have 3 bins and cartons for the paper.Big things can be brought to containerparks, once in a month the public sevices collect.

Whaw, dvd, how well you folks seem to be organised. Here in Liège, the city organises thing also very well, but they never come to get the trash on the promised day. That's what makes it possible that several people, within weeks of meantime take a pic of one and the same mattress in different seasons.

This is an apartment block, it is also the day before a "big item" trash day. Once or twice a year the city collects large items at no cost. Normally appliances, mattresses and such are not picked up by the weekly garbage pickup. We also don't have to seperate our trash by type. All our trash is taken to a processing site where it is then separated (paper, plastic, glass, nonrecylables). The bins are provided by the city, which started using them city wide about a year ago.

I am impressed by the neatness of costa mesa, how come there so many bins, is it an appartment block, or what you call a condo ?
