Interesting. Reading the report it looks like the biggest issue any sort of communal trash system faces is we simply don't have that in the US. NY would need a lot of trash trucks which are only being manufactured outside the US. They'd be one of the only cities doing this as well.
It looks like underground would be an option, but the big deal breaker is potentially needing more frequent pickup and specialized trucks.
