In Renton the color coding for the bins is: Green = Solid Material Waste (Trash), Blue = Recycling, and Grey = Organic Waste i.e. Yard Waste or compostables.

That Green bin Phil has for trash is at least a 32-gallon bin. This means between Phil, his potato wife, and 1 cat they are creating more SMW than 2½ gallons per day. So much more in fact that Phil has "a fully loaded car" of SMW that he needs to drive to the dump every month or so.
Also, see how Phil has 3 separate Blue bins for recycling and the main Blue bin is larger than his trash can? Remember when Phil kept saying he has to crush his water bottles directly into the microphone so they will "fit in the bin"? Likely that giant bin is for just plastic and cardboard, the small bin on top in the corner if for glass and tin, and the Blue bin without a lid next to the large one is for office paper.
Phil basically admitted he does not use his compostables bin, and he obviously never uses his yard waste bin. As
@Pargon said he's definitely just throwing shit away and not separating his recyclables whatsoever. All the plastic food trays from Kathy's microwaved cuisine does not get washed and put in the recycling, all his food containers (Peanut Butter, Jelly, Mayo, etc.) are going straight in the garbage, the packaging for the 2 to 3 meals he orders out daily are going directly in the bin.
The TL;DR is that Phil has 2 big bins he never uses, 1 very big and 2 small bins for recycling that he barely uses unless he has to do exactly zero work before putting an item in them, and 1 large bin that he is trying to put literally everything in.
