Varies here, but most towns have gone to a single recycle bin where
everything is sorted when the truck dumps it. One reason is the average
homeowner is too dumb to properly sort.
When our town started some years back I was on the committee to oversee
it. At that time, you went to a town facility and put the stuff in
bins. It is critical that clear glass not be mixed, but every week at
least one idiot would put a green wine bottle or a bunch of amber beer
bottles in it.
