How does doubling the miles driven, save money? You'd have to eliminate the driver and "thrower" to save money. Why don't they convert the trucks to "automatic" pick up, like most big cities have done? Never mind, I know why ... Villages don't want to see their streets lined with the large, plastic, trash containers, set up for mechanized pickup.
More image vs practicality. IMAGE wins every time in TV.

Not everyone has room for a large plastic garbage container(s) inside their home.
I personally don’t want to have to deal with large plastic trash containers. Been there, done that!
As far as image is concerned! Putting out trash two times a week is not a pretty sight, which the “Villages” apparently puts up with!
