freebeard prolly has a communal dumpster, :O. How well does that work?
When I was initially living alone, I didn't have trash service because I generated so little. Just toss what little I had in with my parents when I visited. My first roommate was a Chinese student, and she generated enough to fill the can every week. Didn't realize a poor student could buy so much stuff.

The apartment complex I was at had a trash compactor, and that worked quite well.

Anyhow, the point being that even with someone generating 10x more garbage, it would be cheaper for everyone to have a single bin that gets collected.

Then there's the fact that garbage trucks spill quite a lot of trash picking up the hundreds of cans. Practically every pickup has some trash falling out.
