* '''Single Stream Co-mingled (fully Co-mingled)''' - involves the collection of [[Food Waste]] and [[Green Waste]] in one receptacle (usually a 240 liter bin) and collected in a single compartment vehicle. The subsequent processing of the mixed material is in an [[In Vessel Composting]] system but it is also possible to process in [[Windrow Composting]] if the material can be guaranteed to be free of cooked and raw meat in order to comply with [[ABPR]]

The collection arrangements can therefore vary according to the type of broad approach, the containers used and the frequency of collection. They will also very according to the way the service is linked to Dry recyclate, Green and Residual arrangements

The collection arrangements can therefore vary according to the type of broad approach, the containers used and the frequency of collection. They will also very according to the way the service is linked to Dry recyclate, Green and Residual arrangements. In addition, there is no legal requirement for a [[Waste Collection Authority]] to collect [[Green Waste]] for free from residents, and this has led to two types of arrangement being implemented across the country:

In addition to [[Green Waste]] collected by the [[Waste Collection Authority]], [[Green Waste]] is also handled by the [[Waste Disposal Authority]] at a[[Household Waste Recycling Centre]] where the public bring their [[Garden Waste]]/[[Green Waste]] to be aggregated and disposed of in a similar way to the collected [[Green Waste]]

* '''Free Collection''' - Most authorities started out without charging, and those that continue to provide the service with no charge/fee, do so due to political reluctance to charge and perception that a change would lead to a drop in recycling figures

* '''Charged Collection''' - Many authorities have moved to a charged system, mainly driven by a desire to recover the cost of collection from those that use it the most, but also due to the perception that free collection leads to an increase in collected waste and a reduction in, for example, home composting

In addition to [[Green Waste]] collected by the [[Waste Collection Authority]], [[Green Waste]] is also handled by the [[Waste Disposal Authority]] at a [[Household Waste Recycling Centre]] where the public bring their [[Garden Waste]]/[[Green Waste]] to be aggregated and disposed of in a similar way to the collected [[Green Waste]]
