What are the rules for sorting debris on French Riviera? When we rented an apartment in Paris, there were a few large tanks in the interior courtyard where classic garbage bags were thrown out, pretty big. Here, the entrance of a multi-family house contains modest sizes of a small bag, with rows on the street standing round/direct angle openings with plastic/ glass bottles and cardboard boxes.

They asked the owners (we're talking on correspondence) - those briefly explained that plastic, glass and carton needed to be collected and dumped separately, and all purifications, spoiled vegetables, small paperwork, etc. could be thrown in a package into a common bow. But they didn't give a good explanation as to how scrupulous it was to separate it.

For example, a small plastic bag from a supermarket is a plastic that needs to be removed separately, or can it be thrown in a package? What are the yogurt glasses, the creativity, etc? If you throw them out separately, you're gonna have to start washing 'em, 'cause you don't put the whole plastic bag in the tank, you're gonna have to take it out and leave it alone.
