The current garbage/recycling/compost schedule works just fine for us. Previous owners of my house had an extra large grey bin, which I downsized to a large immediately. Even the large bin, some weeks it's 3/4 full, other weeks it consists of 3 grocery bags of garbage. If I downsized to a medium grey bin, our family would still be fine.
Our large blue bin actually does get full but I attribute that to all the flyers, boxes, packaging, etc. that we accumulate through purchases and what not, throughout the course of 2 weeks.
The green bin, on the other hand, gets completely full by the end of the week. Since we cook most of our meals at home, I don't think I can ever recall a week where the green bin was less than 3/4 full.
All in all, though, I have no issues with the waste pickup in my neighborhood.
