Anyone know the logic behind this? Almost every garbage bin on QQ and other parts of downtown are gone.

The old rectangular bins are being removed so that they can install the new "sleek" ones with the foot pedals. (Yes, I know some people don't like them but I think they are actually quite good!)
how would someone in a wheelchair use one?
Are these the new ones from Astral Media?
I guess the city is trying to keep hands clean?
They may look good but functionally they are badly designed, especially for our climate. I've seen a good few that have broken foot pedals already.
Wait until the first really BIG snowfall, throw in a bit of freezing rain for extra clogginess and the pedal will be rendered useless. Oh, and the openings are so small you can barely squeeze anything bigger than a small coffee cup through them.
Just sayin'
Perhaps a designed deterrent for people who throw their household garbage in street bins? Yes, I've seen this.
