Thalwil
This quiet lakeside town is located five miles south of Zurich and easily reached by train, boat or car. Now a commuter suburb, it has preserved much of its charm as a former farming village and boasts a strong community culture as well as a wide range of shops and leisure activities.

Saturday, September 4 : 9:49 AM Bring- und Holtag |
Similar events are practiced by many other communes in the area and reflect the positive national attitude towards waste: Switzerland leads Europe by recycling 50 percent of all household waste. Certainly, the Bring- and Holtag in Thalwil is very popular, with cars queueing all along the surrounding streets to leave unwanted items or find great bargains. We saw everything from lamps and pots to whole furniture sets and grills changing hands.
The free Bring- und Holtag is being held on the Chilbiplatz. There is also a market for unwanted books in the nearby Schützenhalle. Both events end at 2pm this afternoon.
