Bottom line IMO... We had the bin approach (2 - trash & recyl) where we previously lived, near TV. Wheeling them out twice weekly was a pain. Then they may be left near the curb all day if you're out. Then you needed space to keep them. Taking up valuable garage space, or on the house side. Then it takes LONGER for the truck's auto-pickup mechanism. Perhaps more reasons.

Our guys - if it's one bag, the truck barely slows down and they pick and toss in.

...sorry for the trash talk.
