Some places have box for recyclables rather than a bin. Round here wheelie bins for recycleables only came in a little while before we moved here. Before that people used a blue plastic box - and lots of people still do in preference to the bin, esp. if they have limited storage space for bins I think..
ISTR some areas of Leeds still had plastic box (green?) for similar use. I think it might have been those in the old SWAP (Save Waste and Prosper) scheme, which predated the more general recycling bins ISTR.
I've never seen any - but certain parts of Leeds were experiemental areas so they might have had.
It did, it was brought in years ago when Christine Thomas was Lord Mayor. It was the foundation of recycling in Leeds but was voluntary.

So what happens if you don't have a car?
How do you get the charcoal in the first place if you haven't a car?

I have absolutely no idea! Ask one of your BBQ guests to take it with them when they leave :-) Someone
It can be purchased in many places. There is a garage about ten minutes walk away that stocks it from Easter till late summer.
The local tip is over 4 miles away and I live in a densely populated area.

A bicycle.
So just dry it out, as I suggested earlier.
Y - e - s :-)
How come the charcoal is soggy?
Do you have to get rid of it in one go?
I have got rid of:
Washing Machine Tumble Dryer Car Tailgate
in a wheelie bin - it just takes time and a bit of effort.
Have you noticed that some people seem incapable of even crushing a cardboard box before putting it in the bin?
Providing the bin isn't too heavy for the lift mechanism :-) (Picture of rubbish lorry with front wheels off the ground) Our's post a note on the bin if it is too heavy - happens with the garden rubbish bin (the one for the excess to that we can compost).
To the OP - put the (dry = lighter) ashes into carrier bags before putting it into the bin. I'm sure the bin men don't unpack every rubbish parcel to check it is on the allowed list. However, watch the total weight as that might be underlying problem.

Because from a safety point of view, a bucket or two of water over the barbeque is a lot safer than leaving it to smoulder / burn out unattended overnight. Someone
