Another reason : burning gas as a status symbol.
I can afford that, I'm better than you.
In another millenium, I've done some garbage collection while at university.
Despite the hard work it was good fun - and we factually did twice what Gov't operated garbage services did, with half the people.
In some wealthy boroughs, garbage had become a status symbol.
Some people simply had to have the longest row or the biggest pile of garbage bags - even if they were only 1/3rd full (not just one, nope, ALL of them nearly empty !)
At between 1 to 1.5 USD/bag back then, they weren't exactly cheap.
Yet we're talking 10, 15, 20 bag per week.
