Maybe because the trash cans might get stolen. Or they might roll into the street or the sidewalk (after being emptied) and crash into pedestrians?

People will steal anything that's not bolted down.

The same people who would steal other stuff and vandalize things. Look around.

Well, this thread is not about your block. How wonderful that you live on a street with no crime. Congrats. No one cares.

Perhaps it is less time consuming meaning easier to put out that way and easier to be picked up that way since there are often so many of those large black trash bags per building.

Folk steal trash containers in New York. Unfortunately, most New Yorkers get lazy or cannot afford to buy new containers to replace those that were stolen. It's sad, but true.

The trash bags that come out of my building are much too big to fit into a trash can. Plus they are put out in the evening and picked up the next morning so who cares what they look like?
