Garbage should be thrown out on the day set by the municipality.
The day of the week is determined by the type of garbage, such as burnable garbage, non-burnable garbage, and plastic resources.
Even in the same municipality, collection days and hours are different depending on the district or street address, so please be sure to know the rules for your area.
