some interesting conspiracy theories around unions and such in this thread.

While I'm no big fan of unions, the strain and efforts that garbage collectors go through literally destroy their body. It's the kind of wear and tear that if they can avoid it, I'd say more power to them.

The standard size bins make life easier for them, and in theory, easier for the taxpayer. However, until everyone has the bins and the number they need, there's going to be these problems.

The majority of the problems with the new bins is the public's ignorance of them. It seems to be a lot of effort to have people actually think about their garbage instead of just tossing it out.
