    They are afraid of bombs.

    In my city center, after a terrorist attack decades ago with a bomb in one of them, all the trash bins were removed and never reinstated.

      Everyone knows a bomb can only explode if it’s within a trash can. I’m glad Japan no longer has to worry about this critical issue.

      I all seriousness though, by all accounts I’ve heard Japan is very clean. The lack of trash cans is not an excuse people use and things work fine without them.
