I am seeking information on refuse and recycling collection systems. More specifically I'm after the following:

Country, Area Population
Type of refuse container, frequency of collection, cost
Type of recycling container, frequency of collection, cost
Type of other container (ie foodscraps, greenwaste), frequency of collection, cost
And landfill tonnage rate

i.e. New Zealand, Invercargill Invercargill City Council Pop est. 55,000
120L Wheelie Bin refuse, weekly, $91 UAC (rates - uniform annual charge)
60L Recycle Crate, Weekly $41.20 UAC
No other kerbside collection.
Landfill tonnage (direct $42) through Transfer Station - $96

Thanks for the help.
