Huge tangent, but you hit the nail on the head - anything glass and most other plastics are not even worth recycling and when you consider the impacts of contamination and resale market - it makes the black bin a better choice for a huge chunk of recyclables here locally. Believe Aluminium and Cardboard being two of the exceptions to that.

Yeah totally agree.
Aluminum and really all metals recycle really well.
The cardboard as long as it’s not contaminated with food (apparently packing tape and staples are okay). So for food based packaging card board I think compost is a good default. Amazon boxes and stuff I recycle
