Stooping Amsterdam

In Amsterdam, it's common to see people leaving furniture, appliances, and other household items out on the street as a way to dispose of them.

This practice allows residents to easily discard things they no longer need, and many of these items are picked up by others who can give them a new home.

While the city manages regular waste collection, this informal system often turns into an opportunity for recycling and reuse, as people browse through what’s left behind, reducing waste and keeping still-usable items out of landfills.
