I live outside of town limits. My county doesn't provide rural trash pick up. I can pay a trash service $15/month to haul my trash but I choose to take it to a collection site that's only 4 miles from my house. They have dumpsters in several colors. Green for garbage and then various others to sort glass, plastic, mixed paper, corrugated paper. And there are long skips for furniture, yard waste, wood and metal.
BUT, I do get recycling pick up. They gave me 2 orange boxes that I can put mixed plastic and glass into, stack broken down corrugated next to, tied newspaper on top of and put a bag of mixed paper by.
Towns in my county don't have recycling on the street. Charlotte does but is the only place I've seen in NC that does. Two large blue trash cans with flapping lids and white lettering that says what does in which one next to regular metal baskets for trash. They take glass and plastic, separately, iirc.
