West Berkshire Council (WBC) is considering plans to collect general rubbish every three weeks in a bid to encourage the use of
The council says a four-week black bin collection was "not deemed practicable at this time due to the potentially significant impact on residents".
WBC says that it has seen recycling rates grow from 49 percent to 54 percent over the last year but that it believes there is "more we can do".
A spokesperson said: "22 percent of black bin waste is still made up of food waste, with another 20 percent made up of recyclable material that could be collected at the kerbside.
"With initiatives like weekly food waste collections, vape and coffee pod recycling, the collection of plastic pots, tubs and trays at the recycling centres, and more mini recycling centres across the district for small electrical items, cartons and textiles, we're on track for even greater improvements."
The strategy aims to cut the residual waste per household whilst increasing the amount that people recycle.
Bracknell Forest Council has already implemented the three-week bin collection scheme whilst it is already in place in many Welsh council areas.
Councillor Stuart Gourley, WBC Executive Member for said: "We are really excited to get your views on our draft Waste Management Strategy.
"This plan sets out our strategy and vision for a more sustainable future in how we manage our waste and resources and how we continue to improve our recycling services up until 2032."

The ten-bin council requires users to separate cardboard, batteries, food, garden waste, plastic and many more into separate bins.
chief exec John O'Connell said: "Councils place an enormous burden on households through the often mind-bogglingly complex system of waste separation.
"Bin collection is a key service taxpayers are funding, yet in large parts of the country it's residents themselves responsible for much of the heavy lifting."
