Well now. Although the garbage bins are made of metal I think the Iceberg concept is better as off topic.
Walking along in Amsterdam heard a loud noise.
Seems 11% (maybe more?) of the garbage bin is above ground.
What a novel concept to prevdnt bins from overflowing. They hoist it above the truck and open the bottom to empty it.

New buildings are getting outdoor bins that are partially below grade, have been for a few years now, they use a picker to pull the bag out of the bin/hole, I have seen them on at least 5 projects
 
We walked past a set of 4 of them this evening. One marked garbage, one paper, one glass and one compostables.
I'm guessing the customized garbage truck has multiple compartments.
Really amazing how big the below ground part is.
