What evidence do you have that people tend to treat them as trash? While I'm not sure how often Jump services/replaces their fleet, the few I've used and the many I've seen around SF have all worked great/looked to be in good condition over the past few months. Also, I've definitely seen vans redistributing Jump bikes around town. I fully expect Bird/Spin/Lime does/will do the same with the scooters.

Anecdotally, the dockless bike-share bikes in DC get treated a bit like trash. Friends wake up and find them ditched in their yards, and in their driveways and alleys. They're randomly left in the middle of sidewalks. Etc. Maybe no literally treated like trash, but not treated thoughtfully either.
