Buckelwal befreit sich in der Nacht von Ostsee-Sandbank Der an der Ostseeküste vor Niendorf gestrandete Buckelwal hat sich in der Nacht befreit. Der Wal schwimmt offenbar auf Kurs hinaus aus der Bucht.

And then he just slipped off unnoticed in the middle of the night. I guess in his position I would have done the same. www.zdfheute.de/panorama/ost...

In our Landkreis you can make an appointment to have it picked up at the street, although scrap hunters in dubious white vans usually pick up the valuable stuff the night before the garbage truck comes.
