Carton day
Ze Swiss have a lot of rules. A LOT. But some of them are quite useful really. Like tomorrow is carton day. That means you collect all your carton trash, and place it on the street corner on a certain date. Some person comes and picks it up tomorrow. For free! Meaning you don't have to pay for the bin bag, and can dispose of it for no cost. Excellent.
They do the same thing for paper, which mind you have to be put in a neat stash with a string around holding it together. Shame on you if you put it in a paper bag, because then you could hypothetically put normal trash in between the papers. Ze Swiss don't like that, so they tend to leave it on the pavement. I have tried, that's why I know...
And since it's Tuesday, and I anyway have to put the carton out. Meaning going through the annoying exercise of getting shoes on, jacket etc. Hey, I might as well go out!!

'carton day'
even better is when someone comes to pick it and all your other recycling up from outside your house for free every fortnight, like they do here.
That is indeed a very nice service.
