This exists in the USA as well. The hunters know the trash pickup schedule, and a lot hunt on weekends as well. It's unwritten knowledge in my neighborhood that you separate and leave metal waste on the curb where the pickers can get it easily. You see the pickup trucks slowly combing the areas in the afternoons and evenings. I've also seen more resourceful ones refurbish what they can and sell items at flea markets and in parking lots. BBQ grills and bicycles are always in the flow, although the bike supply has dried up with COVID.
