Answer:
Typically, one would sort garbage by paper, recyclable material (such as plastic), and all other wastes. However, it is important to note that you as a "consumer" do not need to waste time sorting your garbage. If you do not recycle by yourself, most of your trash and "recyclables" end up in the same places, either a landfill, or used as fuel to power generators. As such, it is almost not worthwhile to recycle.
However, if you were to recycle, trash collecting companies typically already help you dispose of your garbage through color-coded trash bins. For example, in the Atlas trash collecting company, Green typically is used for natural substances, such as leaves and branches, while blue is for recycling, and black is for the catch-all trash.
