Marcus: Times: "Thousands of wheelie bins have been secretly fitted with bugs as the Government comes under increasing pressure to charge households for collecting non-recyclable waste."
Marcus:
"The penny-sized electronic chips could be used to fine homeowners who exceed any weight restrictions imposed on rubbish."
Marcus:
There's also a graphic of where the bugs are located, just in case you should accidentally pull it off by mistake.
chris:
The bin men where I live have another way of disrupting this scheme called "giving you someone else's bin." Which kind of makes any valid measuring technique completely pointless, really.
zanna:
We don't have bins where I live.
