The council says it is to improve recycling and help makes these areas look tidier and more welcoming.
Authority bosses say housing estates have some of the lowest recycling performance rates in the borough.
Installation work has already started on the Alton estate and work is due to finish by November.
Judi Gasser, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “Housing estates have some of the lowest recycling performance in the borough. We have listened to resident feedback and are installing these new bins to help people recycle correctly.
“This is part of our Cleaner Borough plan. We are working to improve recycling services across the whole borough while maintaining the lowest Council Tax in the country.”
