The Big Clean for District 6
Once or twice a year, each district in Budapest has a day when people can throw away large items and have them carted to the dump for free. This year's Big Clean or "lomtalalnitas" for the 6th District will happen next Friday, October 8th. Quite a few tossed items do get recycled by people roaming the streets looking for metal to recycle or a chair to refurbish. Feel free to join them in garbage diving - you might find some gems. District VI will also offer an opportunity for you to safely dispose of your household hazardous waste (compact florescent lighbulbs, old paint, household cleaners, old medicine, batteries, oil, etc.) at the big parking lot near Heroes' Square on Dozsa Gyorgy Ut by the big hourglass/sand clock between 12-18. Hopefully the voters will also clean up the district this weekend and throw out the corrupt officials currently skulking in the district's local government offices, so that once and for all we can save the market, market hall, and trees on Nagymezo u.
