About 25% of the Villages population lives alone and a large proportion of those are females over the age of 65. Even for men over the age of 65, it's not as easy to roll those big bins to the curb as it was when we were 35. With arthritis and other health issues, it's just asking for injuries to require the Villages residents to deal with moving big bins.
As people mentioned, the bins could become a projectile during storms. We do get hurricanes here.
The streets are narrow. I saw a truck hit a bin in a community adjacent to the Villages and send it flying 30 feet one time.
I, for one, am very happy with the current system.
