No they last about 2 or 3 years in my experience, depending on how lucky you get with them. Everyone's bin is at least somewhat damaged. A few are missing the top entirely. I've replaced a bad bin once, free service from the city, but the replacement is already starting to crack on the corners where it slaps down onto the tips of the metal claw holding the bin. It is quite violent how it slaps the lid. Here is a video of the units they use:

Do you pay for replacement bins as residents, or does the city provide them? Either way, seems incredibly wasteful for something that is absolutely a solved problem.
