> The Taiwan solution (garbage truck comes at the same time every day, stops briefly, you throw your rubbish in) seems to work well.
That requires
- not running trash collection overnight/early morning when people are sleeping
- guaranteeing that the truck arrives at a consistent and predictable time
- forcing people to be at home at a certain time to throw out their trash
All of those are absolutely non-starters in NYC.
Much better to use the solution that every other city in the developed world uses (putting trash in dumpsters)
