Where I live, we have normal trash, recyclables, organics, and yard waste.
It's really a pain as to what you can put in what bin, but it's really worth it when you think about how much dosn't have to end up in a landfill, which in our case means shipping it to Michigan.
Here's a link to my municipality's recycling site.
