We have a pretty simple recycle system here where I live. It's all single sort. On top of that, the garbage companies also go through the regular trash as well.
On a side note, one thing I also put out there that a lot of people neglect in regards to the "conservation" model is people oddly enough forget the first two parts of the system: The REDUCE and the REUSE. Reducing can be a little bit of a challenge (tap water vs. bottled) but the reuse we do pretty good at! For instance, when we're done with a loaf of bread, we use the bag for cleaning the cat box! Or, used dryer sheets actually work as well as Swiffer sheets do!
