    I’d assume the building has a trash collection chute. My old apartment building had one.

      I think they have collection centres (within the building), chutes were more of an American thing (“don’t think about the trash” mentality).

        Nah, they were where I live. Now they are closed due to sanitary concerns or something. In old, post soviet building I lived they removed chutes and turned bottom level (where the big trash containers were) into expanded lift, so disabled people could ride all the way to ground level.

      I was more thinking about the day they take the containers out, and the trucks rotation. If they do it once a week, imagine the smell and how many trucks they need…
