Studying about trash...

So this goes in the special bag, to be taken out on this day. And this goes in... AAAAAHHH!!!
The concept is amazing, and I love being a part of it, but it's so damn confusing.
Two nights ago, spent a good hour studying what to put in which bag, and when I can put it at the garbage collection spots...

So for example, burnable trash, i.e. food, paper (lots of paper should be given for recycling, but one paper here and there can go in this bag lol), tissues, all that crap go in special bags and are thrown Monday and Friday. Non burnable trash can be put in any transparent or semi-transparent bag and taken out only one Monday per month (we have a detailed schedule so as not to get MORE confused).

What makes it even more... interesting, is that my building, for some odd reason, are anal about WHEN you can take out your trash. The place where we throw it is locked at night! So only chance is to take it out between 6:30 and 8:30...
I kinda confused the days yesterday and took out the empty bottles instead of plastics (yes they're different!) and realized it at night when I was checking what to take out the next day...
Now I have a big bag full of cartons and paper, another big bag full of plastic wrappings, miscellaneous recyclable plastic things, and a bag for the normal (burnable) stuff... Sigh...
