One thing I have found interesting since living in Hungary is something called Trash Days. The government has certain days once a year (typically in May) when people can put large items out on the street to be taken away. Each street is given a designated day to do this. Our street was today.
Some people just throw the items out, and some have bags or boxes of things to throw out.
This was the “trash” across from our house, right by the street.
And here is another couch across the street. There were a couple of gypsy women who hung out at the corner of our house for several hours in what looked like “guarding” this couch, waiting for someone to come with a vehicle to pick it up.
Trash day and the day before are the busiest days of the year on our street because tons of cars drive by with people, especially gypsies, who look through the trash. I probably saw the green truck above go by our house about every hour during the day. 
A lot of people even have trailers attached to the back of their cars to pick things up.
And there goes the couch into the garbage truck! I guess the gypsy women didn’t want it after all.
This truck was doing some last-minute “shopping” (the garbage truck is in front of him).
