Having to wash things and separate them out so much is actually a sign that the recycling facility they're going to is outdated and needs an upgrade. We just have a green general waste, and blue for All recycling (plastic, cans, paper and card) and they dont have to be rinsed. I think there's also a separate blue box for glass, but we very Rarely have any glass waste, I suspect mainly because we dont drink alcohol at home.
Theres also a grey food waste bin although I'll admit I'm not the best at using it. I tend to put things like vegetables peel / other cooking waste in, and any fruit and veg thats started to go off, but not general left over food waste. We only keep one general waste and one recycling bin in the kitchen and Im not going outside every time I have some left over crusts on a plate! And I refuse to have the small counter top grey bin in my kitchen, because last summer it attracted ants
I shall be making some calls tomorrow
