In response to #1, Manhattan real estate costs over $1k per square foot, often more. Adding a third container/bag to everyone's trash area would eat up far more capital in real estate than it would produce in income. #2: Manhattan is super dense, and there's no place to put that many bins. Bags scale better than bins anyway, and a lot of buildings use trash compactors which work far better with bags. Finally, there's not enough room between parked cars to get bins from the sidewalk to the street easily.
