    Not a NYC dweller here, but what in the world constitutes a “modern” trash bin? Isn’t a bin a bin? Do the bins drive around picking up trash autonomously? Did NYC just not have them at all or something?

        That sounds like a really good way to attract vermin of all sorts; bags will leak, break open or just otherwise be easily accessible by any critter that happens to roam by. If Ninja Turtles are anything to go by, I’m not sure I’d want those rats getting into my bags, 😛
