Communal bins are already used in mainland Europe, where proponents of the scheme claim they lead to tidier streets, as birds and foxes cannot rip open the bags.

Wtf? There is a device which prevents animals from ripping the bags: it's called a bin
In my city it is like this: small houses usually have the bins in the front or in the inner cities in the cellar, medium sized flats have bigger containers for several houses, but they are not far away, 20,30 metres, large flats have rubbish chutes on the floors and the trash is collected in large containers.
These "communal bins" are usually only for recycable stuff like glass, paper, clothes.

I like the phrase "Government-lite™"
Here they are also professional bureaucrats with all the joy and "service" one can expect. And yes, the German bureaucracy is as bad as the cliché is.
Some years they privatized the rubbish collection here. Of course the service went down and the prices went up... who would have thought so...
