Ah, I think I see one possible reasons:
I've always lived in areas where there is a municipal contract and a direct charge for service (and the charge varies by size of bin). New York City is "free", which means the costs are indirect, so less of a money-saving motivation to switch to containers.

Also, TBT, NY city trash collection is pretty cheap: $2B budget, say average household size of 3, that is $750/household/year. In Napa I pay by size of bin (plus also compost + recyclable bins): A 35 gallon bin is $47.17/month, a 55 gallon bin is $72.34 a month.
