Another 35,000 wheelie bins are set to be delivered to homes across Hounslow, completing the roll-out to all low-rise homes in the borough.
Wheelie bins were first piloted in Hounslow in summer 2013 and there are currently more than 29,000 in use across the borough.
When the new bins are introduced, every household other than those in high-rise properties will have one.
The new bins will cost the council £850,000 to introduce but it estimates they will save £500,000 a year by reducing the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
However, an opposition councillor questioned the estimated savings, pointing out recycling rates had actually fallen since the existing bins were introduced.
The new wheelie bins are due to be introduced in October or November this year, subject to approval by deputy council leader Amrit Mann under what is known as a 'single member decision'.
Mr Mann said: "During both the pilot and subsequent rollouts across the borough we have listened to the views of residents and have adapted the service to respond to local circumstances. This includes assessing individual properties rather than allocating bins to entire roads.
"We've already seen a massive improvement in street cleanliness in areas where the wheelie bin collection service has been introduced. We expect residents to notice an immediate change as the scheme is rolled-out to their street.
"As with previous rollouts, we will be doing a lot of work with residents so they know how to effectively use the new service and what is expected from them. We will also revisit households already using wheelie bins.
"As well as helping the environment, recycling is far cheaper than sending waste to landfill. Every tonne of rubbish sent to landfill costs £120 per tonne. Recycling the same costs just £20. Recycling more is one way you can help the council save money that could be better spent on other council services.
"Residents do not need to do anything right now and are reminded that we will write to them later in the year to confirm their household collections."
Hounslow Council claims the introduction of wheelie bins to 20 collection areas has helped increase recycling, due to the relatively small size of the 140-litre receptacles.
The 2013 trial involving 7,300 properties was said by the council to have boosted recycling by 4% and reduced waste from those homes by nearly a third.
The council also says the bins help reduce spillage from bin bags, which are prone to raids by foxes, keeping streets across the borough cleaner.
A council survey suggested the bins were supported by 94% of residents involved in the pilot scheme, but they have proved unpopular in some areas, particularly in the east of the borough.
A total of 270 people have signed a petition calling on the council to scrap the bins, which the creator describes as large and ugly, at terraced homes in Chiswick and Brentford.
Chiswick councillor John Todd pointed out that recycling rates in the borough had actually fallen during the last year, since the introduction of wheelie bins, from 37.4% at the start of 2014/15 to 35% in the last quarter of that year. He said the rate is well below the council's goal of 38% and a long way short of the EU target for 50% of waste to be recycled by 2020.
"This [roll out of new wheelie bins] is predictable but disappointing. The recycling rates prove that despite the cost [of the wheelie bins] there's been no increase in the performance of our recycling operation whatsoever, and the projected savings border are materially misleading," he told getwestlondon.
"There's an element of pushing these wheelie bins on residents who, certainly in this part of Chiswick, recycle using small dustbins and have minimal waste. They live in conservation areas and wish to retain that status, yet their requests to use alternative secure containers are contemptuously ignored.
"Of the £850,000 cost [for the new wheelie bins], £250,000 is going to the contractor SITA. Each SITA lorry costs £25,000 to convert to lift these wheelie bins yet on the Glebe estate where wheelie bins have been forcibly opposed the bins remain in situ and the collectors simply lift out the bags.
"Our borough has the worst recycling rates in west London according to figures from the West London Waste Authority, lagging well behind boroughs like Harrow (49%) andRichmond (44%).
"What's required to improve recycling rates is not wheelie bins but a campaign of education and if necessary enforcement for those residents who fail to recycle."
A council spokeswoman said that in the two years from April-June 2013, before the partial introduction of wheelie bins, and the same quarter this year, when 27,000 households were using the wheelie bin collection service, the volume of household waste going to landfill had increased by 0.1% while the amount being recycled rose by 7.4%.
