Yup, that's pretty accurate.

L.A. requires 4 curbside bins, black for landfill, blue for recycling, green for organics, and brown for horse manure. Some Bay Area and PNW cities require even more - 5 and even 6 different bins because they want the residents to separate out recyclables that are paper and plastic into different bins.

Fail to adhere to Dystopian policies and you will be heavily fined. Live under a blue tarp along side the freeway and poop all over Hollywood Blvd, however, is A-OK.
