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.

Interesting read. I still much rather have communal bins a short walk down the road than having multiple stinky bins in my yard.
