Daily pickup could also lead to people throwing out more stuff because they don't have to ration their bin space.
Where I'm living in the UK, there's four bins: Plastics, glass, cans (collected once a month); Paper, cardboard, etc. (collected once a month); Green and food waste (collected once a week); General trash (collected once a fortnight)
In Germany and a number of other places, they go to the effort of getting people to separate green, brown, and 'white' glass, also.
