[Vision2020] Moscow Trash Rates

I had a response from an official that confirmed they were considering mechanically-assisted pick-ups.

Here's some stories on communities using the system:

Good point...they'll just break the flip tops off if they do it without the
mechanical arm.  Ask them and let us know!

The wheeled, flip top containers are often used so that the truck can be
equipped with a mechanical arm to pick up and dump the container. Are they
considering that here?
