Local sorting
What goes in the blue bin?
There is no worldwide answer. Blue commonly means paper and cardboard in many systems, but another city can assign blue to a different stream.
Complete answer
The answer
Use the label on the actual bin or bag and the local municipal or operator guidance. The colour is a visual aid, not a universal material standard.
If blue is the paper stream where you live, clean and dry paper/cardboard are typically the target materials, while food-soiled paper, laminated products and composite packaging may have separate rules.
What to do
- Read the bin label first.
- Confirm the local colour guide.
- Keep excluded and contaminated materials out of the stream.
