Regardless of whether it should or shouldn’t - it is. My parents have had a green recycle bin forever. My compost bins are brown and my trash is green.
It’s funny how you’re upvoted for assuming they are recycling and I’m Downvoted for pointing out things can be different, and than you’re upvoted for pointing it out too.
I just called them recycle because that’s what I’m used to them being. I have seen blue recycle too - looking at the image, tho it’s low resolution, it looked like to me there was a bunch of bottles in one - I just made an assumption. Im not making an attack on you - sorry if anything I said came out that way.
There should be universal standards followed, but I’ve lived in multiple countries and states and there sure as shit isn’t any strict adherence to any color standard between recycling/trash/compost.
I am not sure when curbside composting started being offered as a service, but I don’t recall hearing about it more than a decade ago. On the other hand, I remember seeing green recycling bins in the 90s (which is a far back as I can remember anything). In my town, we use both green and blue (covered) recycling bins. The color indicates the recycling schedule (they are picked up on alternating weeks).
It really shouldn’t, those are universal standards and there is no reason to be different than to confuse people.

People are fucking stupid.
People aren’t fucking stupid, your comment was just pedantic.

So…… why are people assuming they are recycling bins if they could by anything since color doesn’t matter……?
Probably because from a distance they could easily be something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-Commercial-Products-14-Gal-Green-Recycling-Bin-with-Universal-Recycle-Symbol-571473GRN/302727655
