I’m in the woods of eastern Kentucky but we just have bins that we roll to the the of our driveway. At businesses and apartment complexes in town they usually have one large communal dumpster at the end of the parking lot, paid for by the business owner or landlord, and Rumpke (our local trash service) comes by on their day and just back the truck up to it and dump it. On some roads that have residences all along them they have these little forks that lift and dump the wheelie bins folks put out so they just drive down the road and don’t even have to get out of the truck.
In downtown NYC though if there are no parking lots, no alleyways, etc., I guess folks will just have to get creative. They could probably have a single dumpster per block or something instead of having one for every single customer on that street.
The trash bags were there one day a week for a few hours until they got picked up. These things will be taking up space all the time…
Also they weren’t stinkier than dumpsters can be, lol. Trash is trash. The NYC trash piles shock American tourists, but on a global scale it’s a pretty normal way to deal with trash. I’ve seen it in “nice” cities in both Europe and Asia.
Nope, no alleys in NYC, nowhere to put dumpsters that isn’t in the way. Not sure where these are gonna go.

I guess in the same spots the giant stinky piles of trash bags have been going?
