They are called Automated vacuum collection. We had some of those systems in Germany too, the last one was shut down in 2015, due to leaky tubes and high maintanance costs.

I wonder what the worst thing shoved down there has been. (I shudder to imagine)

Has anyone got any idea what these are? The smallest one is roughly head sized and they seem to be made of glass.
