Goes into a big outside bin that get emptied from the trash company.

Ah, lucky you then. Where I live, everything non-recyclable won't get picked up if it's not put out in garbage bags cinched tight.

They’ll stop picking up the trash here if it’s not bagged in the bin.

When they raise it and turn it upside down to empty it, the wind can easily cause any loose and light stuff to blow around and not end up in the truck.

One bin probably is a small thing, but I can definitely imagine if the entire block were doing it it would start to accumulate fairly quickly.
