Does the place you live have recycling pickup or just trash?

both, but it's by a private company, not included in our taxes.
We have a recycling bin and a sign on it telling what goes into it and nobody pays the sign any mind.
Recycling, trash and compost/green waste pickup.
Me too.
I had curbside recycling for at least 25 years, I thought by. now everyone would. The people who live where they don't have it act like they are doing something amazing when they do it on their own.
Both. But it won't take chemical waste but there are accessible sites to dispose of batteries, old computers and TVs, etc. A monthly bulk pick takes up everything of everything except corpses.
My Atlanta co-op is just trash - that's what you get when your neighbor is Dana Bash. I hate her so much. When I come home late after a night of drinking kamikazes with Don Lemon and his drag queen friends, I take off my heels in the elevator, and when I pass her door, I ring the doorbell and then run my fat fanny down to the end of the hall.
we have both. Bulk pick up and branch/limb pickup only come twice a year, although last year we had a tornado/wind shear episode and they came around after that.
Republic Services picks up recyclables in Las Vegas once every two weeks. You don't even need to separate them!
They pick up trash twice in one week.
I love living in Las Vegas!
We have mandatory recycling bins around here: plastic, biological, glass, batteries, and paper. If we mess one bin, the neighbourhood is fined.
Both recycling bin and trash bins provided by the town, comes once a week on Friday morning. I pay 35 dollars a month for that and sewer, not bad lol.
I'm not sure, I'll have to ask the raccoons.
Both, once a week. Our day is always Friday.
Pick up fortnightly for most things.
In Asia, just trash (that's what's holding me back with my room-cleaning, it still looks like I've just moved in). The thing is, I lived in Europe for a year as an adult, and I got used to the lifestyle (like I'd buy bottled pink fruity beers and those pink AH smoothies, and they'd be in glass bottles—and I'd never have to think twice about buying those because I knew I could either dunk the smoothies bottles down the bin outside the dorm or return them to the Hoogvliet). Now the only place I can "return bottles" in Asia is The Body Shop (but after they got epically racist, I'm dealing less and less with them). Also, when I lived in downtown apartment building in 2015, I'd dunk my paper to recycle at the office (now that I live in the burbs, I just pile them up and try to "repurpose" them).
That's what's keeping me from properly cleaning my room. When I know I can technically recycle something, I cling onto it because I feel guilty (especially if I think it has major carbon credit value attached to the rubbish).
I feel like I really need to do a "just once in a lifetime, once-and-for-all" purge and throw all the 'recyclables' without abandon (hopefully some scavenger will find them—there are lots of them in Asia, they're informal "recyclers", not like formally employed by the city government). Otherwise I'll never get my room cleaned.
The last governor had SO much potential, he actually got shit done and I finally felt not-so-resentful about paying tax. Now we're back to sleazy corrupt officials again. Meh. I didn't fucking vote for those jackasses!
Mandatory recycling. Bins for recycling, yard waste, and trash are picked up weekly. Bulk pickup 4 times a year. Leaves picked up fall and spring. Included in our property taxes to the town. Nice.
