We have a big wheelie bin with a divider down the middle, half is for recycling and half is for garbage. The garbage side is usually 1/3 to 1/2 full, the recycling side is usually jammed full. Our council is talking to switching over to smaller bins for garbage, then having the whole large wheelie (divider removed) for fortnightly recycling. This is how we had it in the ACT and it worked quite well. We also have green waste bin but you're not supposed to put kitchen waste in it at all, it's just to keep garden waste seperated, it has a ventilation insert and is collected once a month only. We keep a compost bin and also feed scraps to our little doggy.
