we have 4 bins
grey ... general waste
blue ... glass, cans & plastic pots/bottles etc
green .... paper
These are all every 3 weeks
The brown bin is for garden waste & food waste which is collected ever other week
I don't think the deposit idea for supermarkets is a bad idea ..... it's them that create most of the packaging material in the first place. Years back when I was a kid & supermarkets had yet to become a thing, everyone managed with just 1 dustbin.
I see the amount of packaging that we use at work ie shrink wrap on a pallet. This is the wrap that still wraps a pallet of cans that are now in a cardboard pack on the supermarket shelves .... Joe Public is happy because he believes there is now less plastic packaging on the product.
