This week on the Bay Curious podcast, we answer a question from listener Charlie Spiegel who wondered: What Happens to San Francisco’s Recycling Once It Leaves the Curb? Charlie is one of those people who really wants to get recycling right. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky! Test your recycling I.Q. to see how well you know San Francisco's recycling rules.

Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that dog poop is compostable; it must go into the black bin for the landfill.

Be sure to subscribe to the Bay Curious podcast, and watch our video from our trip to Recology's Recycle Central.
