Yeah that reminds me of a place I stayed in Portland that had, like, five different bins. One for compost, two for recycling, a garbage can. It was over the top but I actually kind of loved it. Felt like they really cared, you know? Makes the no-bin spots feel even more frustrating when you've seen it done right.
Wait, did they really have separate bins for different kinds of recycling? That sounds like a lot to keep straight. I bet the compost one got pretty gross in the summer though.
