alt Hacker NewsI always smile when I see Anglophones and their outdated concepts. You could just have a communal or public bin and then never have to worry about putting the bin out. But no, let’s instead make a complicated schedule and penalize people who don’t keep to that schedule. And have everyone sacrifice a square meter of their yard to stinky bins.

Communal bins mean everyone pays for everyone's garbage and/or lack of sorting.
Here the rate per kg is different depending on which bin it is, so you're "rewarded" for sorting properly.

You need to put those communal bins somewhere. And they’re very unpopular to be next to. See the discussion about bin hubs [0] in Edinburgh. Bear in mind that the city centre already had communal bins, this is just a slight shift to how they were set up.
