Would anyone be up for giving me a rough translation of these signs? They are posted in the trash/recycling area of my apartment. I think I've been putting the recycling where it belongs (by sorting based on what's already in the bags/bins - and well, I now know the Korean for "plastic" and "paper"), but I worry that maybe I'm missing something.

Certain items have "Other" inside of the Recycling symbol -- what does that mean? Does that mean the item is recyclable and I need to figure out which is the "Other" bin? Or does it mean that the item really isn't recyclable, and I should bag it with the other supposedly non-recyclable trash?

Are only the things that are marked with a recycling symbol recyclable, or should I make guesses on some of the other items?

Where should I put excess plastic bags themselves? Would they go in with the smaller things, like kimbap wrappers, or maybe somewhere else?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm not sure about the first one.
The second one is for glass bottles
and the third one is for food garbage. But you should dump out your food garbage in the bucket and place the plastic bag in the box next to it, i'm assuming.

First one is for tin cans.

Thanks for your help, detourne_me and T-J. I'll sort with a bit more confidence now.

Any thoughts from others on the "Other" inside the recycling symbol issue? Are items marked as such really recyclable, or should I just trash that stuff?
