Does anyone know how these sensors work, please?


The device in the bin is just the serial number of the bin that can be
read by the collection lorry. The serial number will be registered to
your home address.

If you want to get rid of something 'illegal' just remove the tag from
your bin and swap it for the tag from one of your neighbours bins.

If you don't want this to happen to you treat your bin as being made of
gold and lock it away! Remember that if your bin is stolen, or used
for inappropriate disposal of waste by a third party you will be
subject to a large fine. If you expect that your bin has been used by
others report it to the Police (and insist on getting a crime number)
or else you have no comeback when you get the demand for the fine.

Good Lord. M-in-L is 78. Doesn't want to be doing with all that at her
age but thanks for telling me.
