The advantage of living in a 1st world country.
Tis more efficient to have one vehicle collecting
trash from many homes. Otherwise, it would be
many separate vehicles wasting time & fuel.

Although I agree with the 1st world country thing (well we are for now anyway) but I don't know how small the community you live in is, but there are still multiple trucks picking up trash where I live, one truck could not handle it all in a timely manner and we'd be swimming in trash. Also there are separate trucks for recycling. But the whole lugging trash for miles through snow up to your waist, or fighting Vandals, Visigoths, Huns, and wild animals, just to get to the one dumpster, has been completely eliminated.

Of course there are more than 1 truck.
But each truck handles dozens of houses.
True for both trash & recycling.

Caught up and binned the idea to move to centralised collection which is far more economical, much cheaper but a little inconvenient. One day you'll catch up...

Leave it to the Frogs to find the most inefficient way
to do things. Do you have indoor plumbing yet?
Or do you still have night soil collectors & honey dippers?

You need to speak more clearly and MAYBE just maybe people would not misunderstand what you are saying

It is one vehicle that collects the trash from the whole village in one go. So not wasting time and far more fuel efficient.

While the old fashioned stop, collect garbage, start, drive 30 yards, stop, repeat. Is going on in one street our éboueur (refuse collector) has collected the refuse from 2 or 3 villages

The epitome of efficiency.

Been there, we moved on to a more modern, and efficient, way of dealing with trash.

Bears are so often wrong, you use a highly inefficient, fuel heavy method that is so 20th century just for a bit of personal convenience
