I have just discovered that those odd waste/recycling bins that are all over the oldest bits of Bergen, Norway, link to an UNDERGROUND PNEUMATIC WASTE TRANSPORT SYSTEM. The waste collects for a bit and then WHOOSH... it's off to the recycling centre. All underground. No bin lorries (garbage trucks), fewer road vehicles, less noise... amazing. @davidho says that my (considerable) excitement about this is entirely unreasonable. I disagree.

For me it seems like a over complicated solution without a big problem to be solved. In my neighborhood there are coming around 4 garbage trucks per month. By this a negligible pice of the traffic. Besides maybe the highest density areas, it seems like a expensive or/and expensive possibility for the trash. A stuck pipe cut of all garbage disposal. A broken truck can be just exchanged with a working one.
