They have these in America.

BUT, in most of the country the private company that collects your refuse only takes trash, and recycling is something you either pretend doesn't exist, or you take all your recycling to the nearest recycling center when your porch fills up.

It really grinds my gears. Recycling isn't going to solve climate change, but cardboard and aluminum or steel cans are worth money when recycled and aren't that hard to sort mechanically.
