2. That's what we do where I live.

You have to pay to have your garbage picked up, but they'll haul away your recyclables for free. It's a huge incentive to recycle. And you can toss all of your recyclables into one container (except glass; they still don't haul that away) where it will be separated at the recycling center. Very convenient.

At my house, we put one thin, anemic little garbage bag out at the curb each week, and a big container of recyclables every two weeks. We used to put out three big garbage bags weekly.
