You should follow the local rules on recycling. Only the company picking up the recycling knows what they can really handle.
Unfortunately this information isn’t always as easy as it should be to look up. It should be a simple web search away.

Yes unfortunately they never tell you. Sure they'll tell you the easy stuff like cardboard, paper, cans etc. But there's a near infinite variety of stuff that you might be able to recycle. What about a metal coathanger? What about a plastic-coated metal coathanger? Etc.
We have to put paper and cardboard in different containers. What about card? No idea!
Unfortunately we never get any feedback about whether we were right or wrong. It could all be sent to the landfill and we will never know.
The reality is: reduce, reuse, recycle, where recycle is absolutely last resort and I actually consider it harmful as it releases some kind of valve from people, and they think everything is going to be alright.
