But sometimes education is the best UX. Just give people an exhaustive list of trash for each bin. There is no simple and elegant solution to knowing what goes where, since it depends on the recycling process etc. Recycling bins at community recycling centers here just have alphabetic lists that list every item, and helpful staff that tells you were to put things if you are unsure. People throw away the same things over and over again. Teach them once, and they‘ll throw it in the right bin. No need to come up with a confusing icon or throw everything in a single bin.
