We have a green bin for biodegradable stuff. It is emptied every week as it could get stinky in the summer. Not a bad idea until you total the yearly cost of the special paper bags.
There is a blue box for plastics and metal, and a black box for paper and cardboard. They get emptied on alternating weeks.
Other black bag garbage is picked up every second week.
More people are dropping household items off at the Value Village and RE stores for retail recycling. And there are green bins near malls for used clothing.
Unfortunately there are not enough stores involved in recycling for paint, lightbulbs, batteries, etc.
