    It won't do you any good.</p>

    They'll just insert another when they are ready to use it.</p>

    you mean....

    That this is something that will most likely monitor the weight of your bin etc...

    how an electronic tag can actually monitor your recycling.....

    didn't think electronics had become so advanced myself

    The bin truck

    will know which house the bin belongs to when picking it up, weighing it then emptying it.

    It doesn't turn the wheelie bin into some sort of robot.

    solution to tagged bins

    throw all your non-recycle waste in your neighbours bin. If there's a charge for throwing too much rubbish out, at least you won't end up paying it.

    save it in the back garden, then hire a skip twice a year would be cheaper.

    If you are in Barnsley

    The council have already said they won't be using that charging policy.

    if that is so?

    then why are they putting tags on our bins ?check out under the lip in a round hole.
    The council have already applied to the Government for permission to run a scheme, ask you local councillor.

    RE: if that is so?

    They can put tags on to measure, doesn't mean they are going to start charging by weight.

    Can't see how it would work - you'd either end up with more fly-tipping or get people throwing excess waste into a neighbours bin once they'd put them out.

    RE: if that is so?

    Was on Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 other week, someone said they were going to padlock their bin lid shut to stop others putting rubbish in after it was put out for collection, until it was pointed out that if they did the binmen would not be able to empty it. :D :D
