As in any developed country, Spain has a well-developed system of recycling.
There is a colour coding for the bins so that people will know what waste goes into which bin. They are as follows.
Yellow is for plastic, and containers
Blue is for paper.
Green is for glass bottles, glass jars and glass containers.
Orange is for domestic waste.
In some areas, there are red containers for hazardous wastes such as batteries, insecticides, aerosol cans etc...
In Benalmadea, there are recycle bins and containers within short walking distance. Sometimes the bins are grouped together...
.... and other times you will see only two or three big bins. These big grey bins are for bulking materials, and household fittings.
The bins might look small, but they are not. The containers are underground. There is a mechanical switch which will lift up the whole platform, so that the workers can empty the rubbish into the trucks.
In my apartment, we have our own separation of wastes for easy disposal as well. We separate paper, plastic, tins, glass and waste into different bags for easy disposal. Every bit helps, and we are glad to play our part.
At the supermarket, to encourage people to bring their own bags, they charge you ten euro cents for a plastic bag. People usually bring their own bags to the supermarket or grocery stores.
