UK: We have 2 wheelie bins per household, one for rubbish the other for recycling. The recycling bin has a tray that fits in the top for paper/cardboard. Glass/plastic/tins go in the main bin below. May reduce cost of separation.
See the comically long URL for the leaflet given to householders.

- eterm 11y agoIt varies hugely from council to council. Some places have 2 wheelie bins but all the recycling goes in together (no tray), some places have 2-3 different boxes, for different recylables.
- jamessb 11y agoAs well as general waste and recycling, many (most?) have separate garden-waste and kitchen-waste bins/bags, which get composted or incinerated.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoSome places just have a single wheelie bin.
