I literally tried to describe this is how they do it in France to a friend recently. She was like “wait they bury their trash and use elevators?!” Had to just show her a pic like this. I have to admit the first time I saw it, it floored me… like “holy fuck never thought of that…”
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
Someone posted a pic of the underground waste bins we have in Europe -
And the yanks were acting like it was some sort of witchcraft lol

It truly confounds the American mind.
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?

European cities also waste less money maintaining sparsely populated suburbs.
