Reply to comment by Ms-Pamplemousse in Henrico, CVWMA to provide free recycling carts to 90,000 customers by CrassostreaVirginica

I am guessing that the new trucks will have arms or something to lift the cans. 95 gallon cans would be very difficult for a human to lift. Especially if it has a large amount of paper in them. They also, in theory, be able to stay in the truck.

Arms on trucks with uniform carts will increase the efficeincy of pickups, reduce the amount of staff needed, and expand access to recycling. A fair number of people only have bins, and don't want to carry something to the curb, alley, etc. Bins will (hopefully) make recycling more accessible, increase the volume of recycling, and the number of people who do recycle.
