If you are lucky enough to have regular pickup of recylcables, this day might come once a week, usually on the same day as garbage day. Practices vary greatly depending on geographic region and on the service provider. For example, some independent waste disposal companies provide recycling pickup, but they charge extra for it. Many major cities include recycling pickup as part of their normal garbage pickup service. Some providers accept a very limited array of recyclables and militantly demand precise sorting. Others are more laid back, letting the customer dump it all in a bin, because the recycling guy sorts it at pickup time.
