    I actually separate my burnables and compost the ashes, but I understand that most people can’t diy that. I think Japan has separate receptacles for burnables.

      Japan separates burnable stuff like paper and food waste from the non-burnable plastics and styrofoam type things. I believe they end up burning both though, but with different methods or temps or something like that. Metal and electronics etc doesn’t go in with the rest of the non-burnables. The only plastic bottles they separate for recycling are the PET kind.
