Grønland Bruktmarked


Every saturday, all year around, people gather to visit the fleamarket under the bridge at Grønland. Its a sweet mix of used electronics, furniture, clothes, stolen goods etc, just like any market anywhere...On the best days, over 10 000 people gather here to check out this vast collection of items. Last year the police had a razzia and had to throw 11 out a total of 50 vendors in jail due to sale of stolen goods, police got back two months later and this time 14 of the vendors got put away. This is probably a discussion around how to sell stolen goods, what is stolen goods and do people really care weather the goods they buy are stolen or not, probably not.
Each year each and everyone of us throw away app.1000 kg of waste, markeds like this redistribute some of this waste and prolongs the lifecycle span, one then may argue that its environmental friendly. Anyhow, it keeps the area vibrant and is an important fixture in keeping the city alive...
