Separate cans -
Personally I use:
1 for plastic bottles that I get cash back on.
1 for glass bottles that I get cash back on.
1 for aluminum cans that I get cash back on.
1 for all plastics/metals/paper/glass that I recycle.
1 for compost.
1 for trash.
Paper and cardboard can go in same container with the caveat that if its shredded it should be placed in a separate bag and thrown away or just composted. Most places that recycle can not handle shredded paper.
If the container is foil or plastic lined then again it is trash usually.
I only presort aluminum, plastics, and glass before hand as the place that pays the most also pays more if its presorted.
Yes I have a bunch of cans, but they are all small anyways and just get dumped into larger ones outside.
