We have three white plastic stacking recycling bins (see huge picture below). We purchased these instead of using the free issued recycling bins because we dont have a place in our house where we can hide our recycling as it accumulates and we wanted something that would look tidier.
Recycling days are Friday and ours gets picked up anytime between 2 and 6pm. They came around 5 today and I was going to get them from the curb after dinner and NOPE. Gone. Someone took all three of them, and the lids.
If you get more bins like this, I highly recommend slapping some recycling arrow stickers in a nice color on both sides and the lids. Hopefully then people will understand they're not curbed freebies.

Yeah, we're kicking ourselves for not labeling them somehow as "recycling". We'e been using them for months and we just never thought about it, mostly because they're sitting with the other recycling bins and we stupidly assumed that people would realize that they were all, you know, recycling. WRONG.
