Q&A: what is the standard color coding for office waste disposal in America?

Question by Daniel: what is the standard color coding for office waste disposal in America?
I’m building an office waste disposal centre in Mexico City. The recycling or disposal in the office is limited to batteries, (employees are encouraged to bring in batteries used at home), paper and toners. I would like to add to the design the appropriate colours for each one of these category. Any one can help me?
Thank you.
