Our "for profit" waste collection system, uses 3 containers; namely vegetation, trash/garbage, and recyclables.
Recyclables then get hand sorted supposedly, between paper, glass, aluminum, plastic etc.
Paint, electronics are supposed to be taken to the sorting site separately. "Hazardous wastes," IOW
In addition, there are privately owned/operated recycling sites, where you can get money for aluminum, glass, plastic, and also drop off electronics.
