it isn't just different in every city, they change everywhere, all the time, unpredictably.
the university i worked at had different recycling rules than the city it was located in, because they operated their own little recycling facility. by the time i left the sorting rules they handed out to all 10,000 employees quarterly consumed an 8.5x14 sheet of colored paper.
a local fast food restaurant has something like four different disposal bins, and i'm pretty sure that at least 3 of them aren't mutually exclusive in their descriptions of what they accept. none of the bins match my understanding of what any of the local waste disposal companies accept in a given stream.
