Our city recently switched our recycling containers to full sized bins,
same size as the trash containers. They pick up once every two weeks and
drastically expanded what they take. Plastics 1 to 7 and all paper and
cardboard except for (wet) food wrappers and pet food bags.
All cans and glass are good.

I'm recycling well over 1/2 of my garbage. :-)
