We have three as well. One for garbage, one for recycles and one for yard
trimmings, leaves etc. We save all the compostables for the worms and flower
beds, and recycle everything that is possible to recycle, so we have very
little actual garbage for the bin. We requested the smallest bin a few
months ago, which is cheaper, and we still don't come near filling it.
