single-stream
One-bin collection system
Single-stream refers to a recycling system where all recyclable materials—paper, plastics, glass, metals—go into one container rather than being sorted by the household.
This convenience increases participation rates but can lead to higher contamination when non-recyclables get mixed in.
Our city switched to single-stream recycling last year.
The term also appears as an adjective describing this collection method: single-stream bins, single-stream facilities.
