neutral  Leslie Marcus: I'm not so sure this text is talking about a game. Don't you think it's a "set of containers"?

(Environmentally-friendly/waste) recycling station


Explanation:
I understand this as the facility, or drop-off place, for recycling. You can call it a sorting station as well. Jeu just being the set of containers for glass, paper, etc. But no need to put set in your translation. If you need responsable include environmentally-friendly, otherwise just stick with waste. There are lots of possible combinations.
