They also have streetside collection bins for newspaper, bottles, plastic and compostable waste, but this might only work because they are more densely populated than Cincinnati is, so they have more pedestrian traffic, more people leaving their apartment buildings and walking out with their recyclables to put them in small bins neatly placed on the sidewalks.

In case you can't read the labels, these bins are for cds, printer cartridges, pens, flourescent bulbs, two slots for batteries and then halogen bulbs.
These specialty item bins for small but necessary to recycle items would work in malls, shopping plazas, at libraries, etc. And the revenue from the ads could offset the start up costs.
