Legislation setting out the responsibilities for the provision and collection of 'receptacles for the temporary deposit and collection of dust ashes and rubbish' by local authorities in Britain were first set out in the Public Health Act 1875. Three waste bins were to be allocated for each household in order to sort refuse from reclaimable fibres such as paper and cloth and other reusable materials like ceramics, glasses and oyster shells. These bins were specified as having to be between 80-120 litres in volume and having a handle and a lid. This order mandated the provision and collection of waste bins to each household in Paris.
