Here in Copenhagen, large bins for commercial and apartment buildings are either kept in the courtyard, or in a garbage room (either in the basement, or a small room on the ground floor with a separate entrance).

Places where they leave rubbish in plastic bags on the street for hours (even overnight) seem filthy in comparison.

the extremely radical move would be to pull a Taipei - you can't leave your garbage on the street, the truck just comes everyday at different times and you walk to the truck with your garbage

time variation means people's different work schedules get covered - whether you're at home in the morning, afternoon or evening you'll catch the truck 2x a week

if you live in an apartment building, it makes really good sense to collectivize and hire the work out to someone or share the shore between neighbors depending on socioeconomic bracket

On commercial streets where i live there's a slightly easier version of this - hour-long slots in every day the morning, evening, and possibly afternoon where you're allowed to put rubbish in bags on the street, which gets collected at the end of the slot:
