I live in a very small place so maybe it's easier but, we have collections every working day. Mon to Friday. Mon, Wed, Fri, its food waste in white bags for composting. Tue is recycled rubbish, everything in the one bag. Paper, plastic metals etc. Thursday and Monday its black bag for landfill. The system seems to work well. Put the bags out early in the morning and by late morning everything is gone. We do have high temperatures for at least 6 months of the year so food has to be gone quickly.

Originally I came from the UK where many collections are now bi-weekly. (Smells in the summer.) The streets are full of green, brown and other colour bins. Not nice to look at. If waste is taken to the dump site and it is full up, then it cannot be left by the containers or a prosecution for fly-tipping will follow. I thought the idea was to prevent waste of energy. (The councils failed to provide sufficient capacity, maybe it is the councils that need prosecuting for failing in their duty to provide sufficient capacity. But I digress.)

France tends to have large bins in strategic out of the way places, as does Cyprus. This often requires transport to get to the bins, which may get rid of the rubbish but fuel is used to get to the out of the way bins.

I have been to countries I won't name, where everything is thrown over the wall into the street to rot away. (Well my garden is tidy and clean.)

All methods have pro's and cons but we all have to choose a way of disposing of our rubbish, and if possible reduce the amount we produce.
Whatever method is chosen it will be good and bad. Good luck with your choices
Too large a problem for me to sort out.
