The thing is, it's not just about the volume of trash - in summer months, trash left for a month is absolutely rancid. It basically starts to compost, the smell is unreal.

Of course they'll just counter that there shouldn't be any old/leftover food in the green bins, it's all supposed to go in the little food bins that are collected more often, but being realistic... there's going to be some amount of "organic waste material" in those green bins, sweating away in the summer heat, attracting flies/ants/etc. Ugh.
