Why are there no garbage bins at Kensington?

Walked around Kensington market today and I did t see a single one of those grey/black garbage bins.

I was at the cheese shop and had to ask them if I could throw my empty food packets there.

The shop guy said that apparently Bell maintains the garbage bins and bus stops instead of City of Toronto, so they can advertise on it. And that they stopped doing it slowly over a year.

And now there are no public garbage bins anywhere.

Is that true? Why would Bell maintain them?
