Unless there was a hurricane expected, you never saw empty cans tipping over and blowing into the road because they were intentionally tipped over on the bank of the property.

Well, good for back home. They're still ugly, still unnecessary extra landfill plastic, still takes longer to empty into the trucks, winds can still blow the cans, and we still have small garages. The way it's done now is cleaner and more attractive, and I for one am happy with it.
