Why the fuck couldn't regular trash cans and dumpsters work
because then anyone could put garbage in the receptacle.
that's nowhere near as efficient as just tossing it in the street.
NYC has been paying to have it's garbage hauled as far away as Virginia to go into landfills.
personally, I think NYC should have all garbage services halted for a year so they can understand exactly what it is they "create", culturallyand materially speaking.
This is when you're so capitalism brained that you're willing to shoot yourself in the foot. So much unnecessary complexity, so many ways for things to break, all just to keep a random pedestrian from throwing a sandwich wrapper in a random bin. So concerned about someone getting a service they 'don't deserve' for free that they would rather live in filth than just eat the minor cost and live in a sanitary city.
