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 liters to 240 liters) 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).

Bag Collection - involves the collection of the Residual Waste in a refuse sack and collected in a single compartment 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.

The collection arrangements can therefore vary according to bin or bag, 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 Dry recyclate, Green and Food arrangements.

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.
