Re: [greenyes] Colors of curbside recycling bins

[Sharon_Gates@no.address]

I am unaware of any "standards" in California.  Where I work (Long Beach), 
recycling carts and bins are bright purple (makes them real easy to spot). 
 Where I live (Costa Mesa), we have fully comingled refuse / recycling / 
greenwaste,  and the City provides green carts, of all the colors to 
choose for such a program :-(.

Most residents who ask me about yardwaste carts refer to "green carts," 
which is the color many jurisdicstions use.  Lots of places use blue carts 
for comingled recyclables.
