    This works in single family housing, but in the city there are waaaaay more bins at each stop.

    Also the garbage bag companies Glad I think, paid it make the old metal cans like Oscar’s go away so they could sell more plastic.

    I think it was after a strike by the garbage men over the condition of the metal cans. I listened to a podcast about it a while ago but can’t remember which one.

      Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The trucks with the arms would be unpractical in a city where bins are more closely spaced.
