Ditto…on the can size. It takes three times as long for pickup by truck lift than for worker to lift, dump, and drop a smaller bin. I watched.

I'm a little surprised at the voluntary (at least initially) rollout. One of the key advantages is automation but until you get rid of all the old bins then you still need manual labor for pickups. When will it become mandatory to use only the new bins?
