I don't know what kind of bin lorry is used where you live, but as a bin man in the Netherlands, i strongly doubt that it was your bin that was too heavy. I have had bins that were filled with cowshit and the lorry had no issue lifting these. Sounds more like the bin lorry had a technical malfunction. Would explain why they left the other bins in your road and drove off.

Hall Of Shame
Last week the bin was so heavily laden (a collection was missed, the road was closed) it appeared to break the bin lorry
I watched secretly from the window
They tried lifting it in with the metal arms
It didn’t work
They left the bin, and others in our road and drove away
I feel so ashamed
