We've been recycling since we arrived in 1987, and it was years later that blue bins arrived at home. We take our styrofoam trays to a bin to be recycled, and we wash and flatten our milk cartons to be recycled, and separate our cans, bottles and plastic bottles. Burnable garbage and plastic garbage is separated, but both are burned. The plastic is burned at much higher temperatures to prevent the release of dioxins.
But, this town in the mountains takes it to a whole new level! https://www.facebook.com/SeekerNetwork/videos/1077313645626123/?theater
