And despite trash bins density increasing, it seems there is more and more littering, mostly beverage and snack packaging (damn uneducated youngsters and strangers!). But granted, we got rid of dog poop thanks to fees and robidog, and cigarette butts are becoming an increasingly rare sight, thanks to the anti-smoking policy, and pocket ashtrayers being distributed and somehow fashionable.

You probably forgot that human beings naturally generate something called rubbish.
Our bins here are somehow always full near the downtown areas and established biz districts, and there isn't enough workers to go round in their bincycles (cross between an electric bike and mobile dustbin) to empty them. Besides, Orchard Road is a rather traffic heavy place at all hours, so these bin cleaners aren't sufficient in numbers. It's either we get CWO (Corrective Work Order) people to clean up these places rather than the beaches, but they would be hard to supervise in such crowded places.
I wish we had those cleaner bots in Academy City (Toaru Majutsu no Index/Kagaku no Railgun).
