Our recycling went up a lot when the council switched from their
previously laughable multi-sorted boxes (one with types 1,2,3 only
plastics plus cans, one for pristine paper, one for garden waste)

to

optional garden waste

and

green bin for *everything* vaguely recyclable (any paper, card, all
plastics, tetrapaks, tins) plus glass in a separate box.

The green bin is full every 2 weeks and the black general refuse bin is
a lot less full.
