Regular bins and dumpsters are not efficient for handling the amount of garbage in such a densely populated area. With larger underground dumpsters like these, the bin men won't have to roll a load bins and dumpsters to the dump truck and empty them, instead they can either empty the single dumpster with a giant vacuum hose or with a crane that lifts up the entire dumpster.

??? regular trash cans exist that a truck can just lift and dump. My town uses them. My trash can can probably fit like, two weeks of trash in it, too.

And, what? Same shit with dumpsters... they're already designed to be lifted and dumped into trucks

The underground ones have greater capacity and you get most of the unsightly dumpster out of view by burying it.
