I dunno, the Bull$hit episode Penn and Teller did sums my feelings up nicely

I like how we do it over here, no blue bins... just a big bag for burnable garbage, a big bag for non-burnable garbage and then give the recyclables (like bottles/cans/glass/etc) to the volunteers who come pick it up. Seems to be a system that works well.
