You're probably right, but in this case they framed it as a test to see if it changed littering habits, which... I don't see the logic. If it's a moral problem, how does taking them away help anyone? Also it didn't, they replaced them, station was cleaner after.
As I understand it they replaced them primarily due to political pressure rather than actual results "MTA officials insisted its workers have picked up less trash in the targeted stations since the program started."http://nypost.com/2017/02/14/removing-subway-trash-cans-has-resulted-in-more-track-fires-litter-dinapoli/ …
Obviously the line about actually improving conditions is political dishonesty, they did it to save money on a service (trash collection) that wasn't having an appreciable benefit. I disagreed with the program since it punished people who didn't litter.
But people who don't litter didn't generally start, people who do generally have such disregard that trash cans don't matter to them, they wouldn't care if there was one right under their hand.

Yeah because it fucking sucked, the station workers started putting regular trash cans on the platform way before they replaced the official ones, and I never felt more of an impulse to litter than when I saw the signs about the shitty program.
