I think they are prioritizing the bin bags 1st as its a health & fire hazard,The little scraps of paper will be dealt with later,Ps check the koningsplein webcam as you can see bits & peices lying around! but there no bin bags thou 8).

My lasting memory from this trip, the place was a shit hole with piles of bin bags all over the place and bins overflowing.

Damrak looked an utter tip the other day there,Like you said overflowing bins/bust rubbish bags & empty man-ken-piss cones were all over the place,Not a good time to take a 1st timer over i must say.
