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.
Ah, we have a separate plastic bin for mixed recycling so no issues there for us. Like someone else said, these probably are slower than an additional person when you have tons of bins like you would in a city.
The ones where I am only have one person. The truck has an arm to pick up the bins and dump them into the top of the truck.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The trucks with the arms would be unpractical in a city where bins are more closely spaced.
We have those too. But they are for the big metal cans for paper and glass.
Those wheeled plastic bins are usually collected by something like this:

Oh, we have a plastic bin for paper too. Although I think not every house has that. But they all have a separate bin for plastics and metal.
The huge cans I meant are something like this:

Fuck huge and still always full. They are extra and don’t belong to a specific house but are on the street for everyone instead.
