What actually goes in the garbage anymore? All the plastic and cardboard can be recycled in the blue bins, and tell green one does food waste. What isn't made of plastic or food in this day and age?

Quite a few things...

The mixed materials I find are the big one, and foam packaging.
Also, plastic bags. I used to throw them all in the recycling, but found out you only do the stretchy ones. Crinkly bags are garbage.

Small plastic lids are no good, smaller than aprox 3 inches.
