I chucked my overhead microwave in the dumpster in the alley last week. It’s pretty wild how different something as germane as trash collection is so different from place to place.
I've lived places where the city didn't want to, or was legally unable, to increase taxes to fund enhanced trash collection.
I've lived in places where the city spends tons of money on trash collection, and everyone got new wheelie bins every year, and trash pick-up three days a week.
When I lived in the desert, trash collection was frequent, and cheap as chips because the city didn't want to give people any reason to dump their trash in the desert.
