    It really shouldn’t, those are universal standards and there is no reason to be different than to confuse people.

      Regardless of whether it should or shouldn’t - it is. My parents have had a green recycle bin forever. My compost bins are brown and my trash is green.

        It’s funny how you’re upvoted for assuming they are recycling and I’m Downvoted for pointing out things can be different, and than you’re upvoted for pointing it out too.

        People are fucking stupid.

          I just called them recycle because that’s what I’m used to them being. I have seen blue recycle too - looking at the image, tho it’s low resolution, it looked like to me there was a bunch of bottles in one - I just made an assumption. Im not making an attack on you - sorry if anything I said came out that way.

      There should be universal standards followed, but I’ve lived in multiple countries and states and there sure as shit isn’t any strict adherence to any color standard between recycling/trash/compost.

      those aren’t standards. those colors are de facto because of the people that manufacture the buckets.

      There is no International Association of Color Of Plastic Buckets Organization.
