I live in Finland where recycling is wide-spread, and most buildings have facilities for disposing of:
* Plastics
* Cardboard
* Paper
* "Biological stuff"
My single biggest gripe is that the biological (i.e. food) waste has to be put in biodegradable bags, and these break very very easily when moist. The end result is that you need to throw out quartyer-empty bags every day, rather than full bags every few days. If you gamble chances are your bag will tear en route to the garden/central bins.
