Garbage is anything unwanted or no longer needed. When garbage is in a landfill, it either takes a long time to break down or it doesn't break down at all. Organics is mostly food scraps and plants. You can put paper and napkins and tissues in the organics. Recycling is kinda' like reusing. They break down the item and make it something new. What happens after they take your bag off the curb? They get sorted at the MRF by tin cans, colour and much more. They also take off electronics so that no one gets hurt. Then they bale it. They make bales to push out all the air so that it can fit in the truck that takes the bale to be made into something new. Hazardous waste is like dangerous oils and electronics. You can take your hazardous waste to a Recycling Depot or the City Of Edmonton Eco Stations. Take your medicines to a Pharmacy. Body Wash is recyclable. Food can go in organics. Recycle food bottles. Diapers goes in the garbage. Toothbrush goes in the garbage. Paper Towel tube goes in recycle. Straws go in the garbage. Envelope goes in the recycle. Magazines go in the recycle.
