Currently throwing out the recyclables which are cardboard, plastic
bottles, glass bottles, cans and other clear plastic. We need to keep
this stuff around the house for a week though as collection is only
once a week.
Recycling is not enforced by law as far as I know but if you try to
throw everything out together in one bag, the garbage collectors will
place the garbage bags back in front of your door with a note
reminding you that you must recycle.
Recycling practiced in your region?

That reminds me, back in the UK, there were green and brown bottle
banks for recycling. Wifey one day saw the bottle collectors just mix
everything up in the back of a truck and was demotivated to recycle in
the UK again ^^;

今日はリサイクルの日。日本のリサイクル回収制度はいいよね。イギリスにいた頃には殆どの人は大雑把にやっていた。
