Under the new system, 70,000 larger recycling bins will be distributed across North Lincolnshire.
A garden and food waste bin will be collected weekly with a general waste bin collected fortnightly, the authority said.
Deputy council leader Neil Poole said: “We’re upgrading the system and making it easier for residents.
“Every old bin collected is turned back into useful raw material, helping manufacturers around the country and cutting waste at the same time.”
The council said the existing bins would be turned into pellets which can be used by manufacturers to create new products.
Deliveries of the new bins and collection of the existing ones will begin shortly after the council receives its first shipment in January.
Residents who would prefer to keep their current recycling bin can opt out of the scheme through an online form.
