Shame, that's not great in cities, having a hard bin in your yard is cool, having one inside your flat is awful (and in-building storage of hard bins has ended up with rot every time I've seen in). Especially since they often come with tracking these days, which encourages only getting the bins out when they're full, which is not great for clean bins.

Though it does talk about collective containers for appartment buildings, so there's things to be optimistic about.

Reading https://dsny.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/uploads/reports/fut..., a combination of individual waste bins for some houses and large shared containers above ground. A reason for making that choice is that underground containers require “substantial space to build underground and a comprehensive underground map that does not exist in New York City”

That makes me wonder how they build anything there.
