Everyone around me got big plastic bin/cans years ago. But they never gave us one. So I just keep putting bags out... We have recycle bins. They even gave bigger ones when they told us to put cardboard in with the bottles and cans. If I have a lot of cardboard, I put 2 out with my old smaller bin full of folded cardboard. Not 'cut in 12" squares' like they requested. Never refused it. I think one time they left a bag when I put more than the limit of 4. Otherwise they have taken whatever I set out
