  No, I think your assessment is correct. Few residential buildings in Taipei are that tall (my current one, for instance, has 6 floors) but the households that personally deliver their trash to the trucks tend to be individual units (not part of a apartment complex or gated community) in older and more residential parts of the city in buildings with fewer (e.g. 3) floors. But the bigger factor is that people who have the money to live in newer apartments would prefer to pay for managed trash.

  In Hong Kong (not Taiwan) most apartment buildings (certainly tall ones) handle waste disposal. There's a trash can in the back stairway on each floor, into which each floor's residents dispose of waste. Granted, there's no mandatory recycling here (one day, we can only hope!) but I imagine it would work the same way, just with more bins. Sometime during the day people hired by building management bring the trash down and dispose of it in containers or recycling centers.
