I thought for a moment you were being metaphorical.

There is not one trash system for all of Germany. So I would definitely ask somebody in your dorm or in that city. Or look in the bins and see if you can figure it out from that. :) Often they have words or symbols on them (like a glass bottle etc), maybe that can help you.
In my city, these are picked up by the garbage company:
- regular trash
- "gelber Sack" (yellow bag): plastic, metal
- paper, newspaper
People also collect glass bottles and throw it into a special "glass container". Then there is the trash that you are not allowed to throw out because it is toxic (such as batteries or chemicals). There are places that you can go to that collect those for you.
There are more, but those are the most common. Hope you figure it out!

Ask somebody around there if they can help you separate your trash, because I'm not sure what the exact system there is. My dorm in Passau had bins for paper, cardboard, plastics, waxed cartons (like milk cartons), compost (food), aluminum, and trash (none of the above). Also, if the items can be flattened, they usually prefer that you flatten them. If you can't find anybody to help you, look in the bins and see if you can figure out what's already in them.

Entropy can also be regarded because the state of orderliness within the universe (and in any smaller closed approach). For illustration in case you have a pallet loaded with say a million,000 small blocks of picket stacked as an orderly giant dice, you would take a picture of it and say that it posseses a distinct random quantity of "entropy." If the forklift sporting the blocks hits a wall and spills all of the blocks, the orderliness is degraded and entropy raises. In truth it might take paintings to place all of the blocks again in combination decreasing its entropy to the long-established quantity. However, the man or woman hanging the blocks in combination ought to breathe utilising up oxygen to burn sugars within the bloodstream to provide power as good as water and carbon dioxide as waste merchandise (that are much less equipped than the sugar being burned). Energy from the solar was once used to develop the vegetation which produced the sugar. Conversion of hydrogen into helium through fusion within the solar was once required to provide the sunshine had to develop the plant that produced the sugar. In each case, power ought to be expended to create larger institution, decreasing nearby entropy. But the supply of power turns into much less equipped (and its entropy raises) so as to re-prepare (and shrink the entropy) of a subset of topic inside the approach into account. In a perpetual movement approach, there might be no develop in entropy since it might stay equipped and unchanged endlessly. Because of friction, there aren't any real perpetual movement strategies identified to guy. Consider the "Big Bang" that created the universe. How so much power might be required to drive the universe again into its dot -sized singularity? Where within the universe might you get the power? Hope that is helping slightly.

In Germany you must separate your trash so that it can be recycled. I know that one color is for paper and one is for plastic. I'm not sure about the third one, whether that's for mixed trash or something specific. I'm sorry I don't know which color is which.
Isn't there someone at the college who you could ask? I'm sure they are used to foreign students being confused about this.

In the Czech Republic, we put plastics in one, paper in two, food garbage in three.

Crazy thought... Ask someone who is there with you? I'm sure you aren't the first person to have this problem.
