Recycling Etiquette in Holy See

Recycling is expected in the Vatican City area, with visitors and residents generally sorting paper, plastics, glass, and general waste into the marked bins rather than mixing everything together. Because the Holy See is a tiny, highly managed place with many pilgrims and staff, waste separation is treated as a practical civic habit rather than a casual suggestion, and you should follow the labels on bins closely if you are staying or working there.
