I have seen those underground trash containers in Marseille, France, which also has tiny (old) streets. I suspect that NYC could benefit from those underground trash containers, especially in the most popular places, including the park. Picking those underground containers could eventually be automated (https://hackaday.com/2017/07/13/automate-the-freight-the-robotic-garbage-man/ https://hackaday.com/2017/07/13/automate-the-freight-the-rob...). According to underground garbage site (https://www.elkoplast.eu/underground-containers https://www.elkoplast.eu/underground-containers), advantages are: - a significantly higher collection point capacity, all the container capacity is moved underground, - collection frequency reduction, leading to lower costs and reducing negative impacts on the environment (less CO2 emissions, less noise and traffic), - all the waste is stored below the ground level with lower and more stable temperature, slowing waste decomposition and odor reduction, - waste is stored up to a height of 2.7 m, resulting in better compaction by its own weight, - reduction of vandalism and the possibility of re-collecting waste, incl. access of animals, - aesthetic appearance and cleanliness of the collection point that does not overflow with garbage, - access restriction using a card (option), - remote filling monitoring (option).
