Works very well in Sweden, to the extent that it used to be popular for youth sports club members, pensioners and homeless to scour garbage bins and recycling containers for aluminium cans and PET bottles. Nowadays it’s frequently Roma here on three month stints that do the scouring, but still good nonetheless.
Anyhow, we recycle over 87 percent of plastic and aluminium drinks cans and bottles in Sweden.
Yep. I love the way Uppsala has done, with recycling chutes above garbage bins. I’ve only seen this done on Södermalm in Stockholm, really wish for this to be implemented everywhere. I did send a proposal for a cheap solution above garbage bins in the subway to SL 20 years ago, never did receive a reply.

Some of the garbage cans in public spaces have a separate compartment for cans, so people don’t have to dig in the main garbage.
