    Two issues here

    1. Governments tend to control how much trash individuals throw away, whether in terms of payment, catching people who don’t segregate correctly, or maybe even catching things like suspicious chemical waste
    2. Efficient garbage collection at scale requires knowing how much trash to expect in an area based on population, and buildings will have appropriately sized storage for garbage. On top of potentially dodging payment, if people throw their garbage in somebody else’s building’s disposal, they could be overloading that area’s trucks come collection time, and especially if the bins are shared, could fill up the building’s bins preventing other people from throwing away trash in their own homes.
