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).

Definitely not just an American thing.

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...

And if they don't, I'm sure that they'd have pickup schedules like any town would.
