Coral Gables Garbage Removal

If you have never seen the system Coral Gables has in place for trash you are really missing out. The way it works is that people put their trash and lawn waste in these little pits by the side of the road. Then, garbage trucks come and pick it up. This process, however, is not as easy as it seems. Do guys get out of the truck and then grab the trash and throw it in the truck? No. Is there a gigantic robotic arm which picks up the trash and dumps it in a truck? Oh yeah!
It is really as if Coral Gables allowed a 10 year old boy to design their trash pickup system. Other ideas which were rejected by coral gables:

1. Gigantic laser which incinerates the trash instantly.
2. Freeze ray, you freeze it. Smash it. Leave it.
3. Just leaving it for mom
4. Attaching it to a rocket and flinging it into the sun. (Superman IV style!)
5. Eating it.
