Not being sarcastic. Every other place I've been uses containers (wheeled bins, cans, dumpsters) to prevent rats and to make collection cheaper.

What is the purpose of piles?

We like to keep out-of-towners rattled.

At the cost of rats everywhere? I guess it works. At least I have an alternate explanation for why it's tolerated, even though I don't think this is a serious response.

Where would you keep the bins? Where would people park when the bins are out? How many bins would a say 15 floor apartment building have?
