Those cans are provided by the Trash company I do believe because when she moved in the cans were already at the hose with the instructions printed on top. Perhaps IF we had a different trash hauler in TV we'd have the cans with the pickup arms. I do agree the US has gotten lazy as far as their recycle efforts.
Don't understand what cans get you. We had them in PA and it was a pain....to the degree that neighbors would let them out all day until they got home from work or the weather improved. This system is so much easier. Also, two stage trash trucks are noisier since the need to run them them at every stop and still need to compact. Here they run the compactor when the rear bin is full and that can take an entire block to fill. The cost of a two stage truck is more expensive and of course we would pay for that. Don't understand the infatuation with cans.
