As far as bins go, my Mother-in law lives in California and has 3 very large bins for her trash....reg trash..recycle trash and yard waste. It takes up half of her garage and many of her neighbors don't bother to put it inside. What an ugly mess around the neighborhood.

California has lots of problems, but it doesn't sound like having trash cans is one of them. That's what the majority of cities have, including Waste Management here.

I don't know what you consider "very large" bins, but most cities that have them aren't much larger than, say, 24 x 18 and they also stack. I would much rather have the bins than the recycling stuff loose in my garage waiting for trash day. In addition, most communities have rules/laws as to when you can put your bins and cans out; otherwise they must be out of sight.

As far as yard items, the last two cities I lived in had trucks that had a "claw" that picked up yard things. Sorry, but the trash system here in TV is archaic.
