It will revolutionise the way we throw our rubbish away.
All the wheelie bins, green bins and red boxes get a computer chip attached to them. the dustbin wagon and recycling lorry have scales attached to weigh each bin or box as its emptied. each chip is assigned to your address, and all the data gets sent to a central computer so that the council knows how much rubbish, how much green waste how many cans bottles etc you've recycled.
each area of the town gets split up into different teams. each quarter the team with the best recycling percentage is given a prize.
The chips cost about a quid each and the weighing machines about 1800 quid.
Now is that a mad idea or what

When the scheme was set up they (LAB) opted for chipped bins and boxes. The difficulty is weighing them, though this idea was a future consideration when purchasing the chipped ones.
