Meanwhile, in france, to save/reuse glass bottles or plastic containers you can get your wine from the local pump.

Do you regularly recycle

That's how it was when I lived in Japan. They were very meticulous about recycling.

Yes, but that doesn't mean I'm doing it right and occasionally I do learn something I'm doing wrong.
I recycle, but my recycling center doesn't take plastics of any kind. They do, however, take spent fluorescent bulbs, spent batteries, used oil, antifreeze, used cooking oil, propane tanks, appliances, lawnmowers, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, and tin cans. I try to reuse as much glass as I can before recycling it.

In some cultures, musical instruments are regularly made out of recycled materials, as you can see here.
My city barely has any recycling facilities, and it actually has a major trash-collection problem that has resulted in accumulation of trash on many streets. Basically, trash doesn't get collected nearly enough, let alone sorted for recycling and sent to proper facilities to that end.
I voted no. I would recycle if I could because I fully support recycling, though.
To add to the above, while the city doesn't have official recycling enterprises to speak of, over 85% of its trash is "unofficially" recycled by the residents of one neighborhood:

That makes sense. If as many of us as possible do what we can when we can, it's better than not. But the amount of plastic in the form of single use bottles and containers out there is staggering. Not only the advent of plastic bottled water and soda and other drinks starting in th e70s and 80s, but dairy, condiments, beauty and laundry products... and then there are the microplastics, which are in everything and everyone.

I do recycle. I have two containers, one for recycling and one for trash. I pay extra for the recycling. By law cardboard can't be put in the trash. I don't have to sort the recycling, just dump it all in together and they sort it out somehow. They used to take glass but now they don't. I read on one of their web sites that a single piece of broken glass ruins a whole container of other stuff. I don't like to put glass in the trash, so I collect it at home and take it to a local recycling place (free) when it builds up. It's on the way to our favorite restaurant.
No facility yet in my neighborhood. We resuse stuff as much as possible. But recycle not possible.

Cardboard has to be bundled and tied with string, here in NJ. Plastic (Identified 1 or 2), paper, and glass go into the recycling can. Trash is separate. There are two cans.
Guys, separating materials from organic and compostable waste is essential because they will create compost, which is very useful for agriculture and gardening.
Besides, PET is a material that can be turned into other plastic objects such as clothes and covers.
Of course there is unrecyclable plastic such as PVC and PS, but they are a very small fraction, considering how many PET materials we use and throw away every day.

Right now, we have two recycling streams: the blue box for plastic and metal, the red box for paper and cardboard. Next year, we'll be getting the green bin as well (organics).
Right now, garbage is picked up weekly and recycling is picked up every other week. With the introduction of the green bin, recycling will be every week and garbage will be every other week, since all the stinky garbage will go in the green bin.
We already have a backyard composter for food scraps, but it will be nice to have pickup for meat and bones.

This, in Greater Manchester we have 4 different coloured bins, only the smallest grey bin is not recycled.
We have a green bin for garden and food waste; a blue bin for paper and cardboard and a black bin for glass, cans and plastic.
"Bin day" is a complex event.

Oh yes, that reminds me - there's shops in the UK where you can take your own containers and buy stuff to avoid needing anything from the shop to buy the product. Not wine though! Stuff such as washing up liquid.

I just check what the neighbours have put out!
