Seeing the employees above holding the old metal trash cans leads me to one question- why did it take so many years to put wheels on trash containers?! And for that matter, the same goes for suitcases. I remember only too well hauling those heavy metal cans to the curb with just the two handles to carry it by. I'm not so sure that it would have been any better if I'd grown up with the smaller pails with the loop handles as shown above. Nice photo of the truck, which seem to have gotten bigger load capacity over the subsequent years
