Oh, now I get it. The bins aren't there to be useful or sanitary. They're to stop homeless people from going through trash.
America has weaponized basic public services
In Poland we solve this the old-fashioned way โ by storing the shared bins in a precariously built shed locked with a normal key lock
Don't worry, stores and restaurants in the US that throw away perfectly good food at the end of the night also lock their dumpsters so that homeless people can't get in there and eat the discarded food.
