If you ever watch our sanitation workers, they walk, pick bag or two up, throw 20 feet into truck, then continue walking to next driveway. Quick and easy. You add in bins and costs rise in services and delays. You only needs bins in the lower economic areas.

Garbage cans with back rollers can be wheeled to the curb and the truck with the hydraulic arm picks it up, dumps it, sets it down and moves to the next house. No worker's backs are involved.
That said, The Villages garbage handling is maximum service for the density here. It works well particularly with such a mobile population that can put their garbage at the curb, leave for home in Kansas early in the AM
, and there is no worry about putting cans/containers back in the garage. I think TV got the garbage issue right!
