We put out a garbage bag for household garbage, a grey bin for
newspapers and cardboard, a blue bin for plastics, glass and cans, and a
green bin for compost. A couple decades ago when we stayed at a
friend's apartment in Germany they had at least 5 different bins for
their garbage, including one for "wet paper" , like used tissues.
