Finnish garbage cans are

 - Grey for mixed
 - Green for paper
 - Blue for carton
 - Brown for bio

I'm sure you all enjoyed this bit of information about the finnish lifestyle.

To get on topic, I think the separation in colouring is good since the
function of the icon differs from normal folders. While not entirely
wrong technically, it's better to distance the trashcan from the
function of a _normal_ container.
