    What happens when it breaks down or gets stuck though? Seems like it risks the trash overflowing because of that.

      Breaks down how? I think the garbage truck is the one lifting and if that’s broken, you just send another one?

        Oh I see, someone else wrote “elevators” and I thought it raised itself.

        But still, don’t they get stuck sometimes?

          There’s no way for it to get stuck. The underground bin bit is completely sealed and also a bit smaller than the hole it goes into, hence the metal plate between the visible and non-visible bits

          Also because our taxes go towards infrastructure rather than killing brown people, things…just work

            heheheh

            European cities also waste less money maintaining sparsely populated suburbs.
