U found this bread tie up to the trash can. There was no mold and the bread smelled good.
Why would someone throw away such a good bread???

  1. Someone couldn’t use it but knew that’s still good, so it’s placed near the trash as “take it if you want”. 

    It’s also packed so that it stays clean.

    People in Poland, especially the older generation, will never throw bread in the trash. It doesn’t matter if it’s old, dried up, mouldy, or fresh but for some reason unnecessary. It’s a result of many factors, such as times of poverty, religion and rural customs.

    I guess someone thought anyone in need would possibly take it.

  4. I think its for wild boars but there could be more reasons for this but some people place food on a fence, trash bin or fence so someone could give it to the wild boars as the boars can come close to people’s property and ruin their ground via digging it up. Or at least that is what my family and our neighbours do in a village

    And some people don’t like throwning bread away as they are Christian and they think it’s jezus or something not sure tho

  5. There is a classic TV series where a guy was going door to door collecting dry /2 day old bread for a horse. This became a meme of sorts, however, even living in the city I came across such people surprisingly often.

    People often collected unconsumed, dry bread separately and hang it somewhere on the door to the trash collection place. It was then presumably collected by horse owners as a treat for their horses. I’m not sure if they still collect it, however old habits die hard and many older people still hang bread separately so that there is a chance somebody takes it.
