blue bin

Curbside recycling receptacle

A blue bin is a recycling container, typically provided by municipal waste services for curbside collection of recyclable materials like paper, plastic, and glass.

The color coding varies by region, but blue commonly designates recycling: Put the cardboard in the blue bin.

In some areas, blue bins are for specific materials like paper only.
