blue bins
Curbside recycling receptacles
Blue bins are recycling containers, typically provided by municipal waste services for curbside collection of recyclable materials like paper, plastic, and glass.
The blue color distinguishes them from trash bins and other waste streams: Put the cardboard in the blue bin.
Usage varies by region—some areas use blue for all recyclables, others for specific materials only.
