In Switzerland waste is separated, and household rubbish requires official bags or stickers that you have to pay for. Your municipality decides which ones and when rubbish is collected.

Watch out: fines for incorrectly disposed waste can be high. Ask at the viewing how it works in the building.

Glass, PET bottles, cardboard and other recyclables can be dropped off for free at collection points.
