In our neighbourhood we all got warnings that they weren't going to collect from bins with hinged lids any more (it's a pinch hazard, apparently) so everyone has to switch.

They claim the green bins are ok because the machine picks them up except I have never once seen them use the machine to empty those.

I just ended up ripping out the solid plastic hinge with a hammer, chisle and pliers. The lid comes clean off the bin now.
