Overview of Arrangements for Residual Waste Collection

The collection of Residual Waste can be via two main types of system:

Bin Collection - involves the collection of the Residual Waste in a bin (ranging in size from 120 litres to 240 litres in most instances) in a single compartment compaction vehicle. The sizes of bin can vary according to the size of property, and the frequency of collection chosen by the relevant Waste Collection Authority.

Bag Collection - involves the collection of the Residual Waste in a refuse sack and collected in a single compartment compaction vehicle, potentially alongside bin collection. The use of bags is primarily where housing does not allow for the storage of bins and the frequency of collection can also be more than once a week as the storage of bags is also constrained. In most cases the Waste Collection Authority supply pre-printed bags to residents to avoid them being used for Business Waste.

Variations

The collection arrangements can therefore vary according to whether the chosen method of containment is bins or bags which can co-exist in the same geography, as can a range of bin sizes and the frequency of collection. They will also vary according to the way the service is linked to the collection of Dry Recyclables, Green and Food waste streams - the combination of which is further set out in a separate page on Collection System Design.

The subsequent Residual Waste is then sent for Treatment or Disposal (including the use of a variety of technologies including the production of RDF, MBT, EfW and Landfill).

Below are the Collection Authorities that utilise this arrangement and listed below for comparative purposes. .

 The collection of [[Residual Waste]] can be via two main types of system:
-* '''Bin Collection''' - involves the collection of the [[Residual Waste]] in a bin (ranging in size from 120 litres to 240 litres) in a single compartment vehicle. The sizes of bin can vary in a [[Waste Collection Authority]] according to the size of property, and the frequency of collection can also vary according to the behavior change being targeted by a [[Waste Collection Authority]] by constraining the capacity of [[Residual Waste]] disposal (so for example a smaller bin may be supplied, or a larger bin supplied that is collected less frequently, or indeed a smaller bin supplied which is also collected less frequently - all in tandem with more frequent collection of [[Food Waste]] and [[Dry Mixed Recyclables]] to compensate for the reduced capacity).
