Finland has a comprehensive recycling system. Most apartment buildings have separate bins for mixed waste, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, and biowaste. Large items and electronics go to recycling centres (kierrätysasemat / Sortti-asema in Helsinki). Bottles and cans have a deposit return system (pantti) - return them to grocery store machines for 0.10-0.40€ each. Batteries go in collection boxes at stores. Finns take recycling seriously and compliance is high.
