Micro-chipped wheelie bins....


Coming next, bins with the lids glued shut...


Micro chipped wheelie bins are coming!

The first pay-as-you-throw rubbish scheme is to be launched this year, raising fears of nationwide bin taxes.

Under the controversial plans, binmen will weigh each household’s weekly rubbish, with the council paying cash ‘rewards’ to the least wasteful homes.

Roy Hobbs, from Doncaster, said: "Most weeks I'll throw away 28 Alphabetti Spaghetti tins, a dozen empty bleach bottles, three bags of feet and a copy of the Daily Mail which I've covered in yellow highlighter and exclamation marks.

"I know I should probably stop reading it. But I can't."

Guess where they can stick their micro-chips...

Well I for one welcome our new oblong plastic overlords. That's because I plan to bolt a slab of lead under a particular neighbour's bin.

Mine will contain only polystyrene and helium balloons. As for the rest of the rubbish, I have a chimenea.

I already play with the recycling boxes. I save them up until I have enough whisky bottles to make a row right across the top. Drives Mr and Mrs lead-plated-bin into paroxysms of Righteous indignation. They think it's booze bottles all the way down.

Sometimes it is...

Chap from Bigbrotherwatch was on Radio 4, Friday, saying that 2,500,000 chipped bins were already out there and that the Council spokesman assuring us that pilot schemes would be voluntary and reward led was, in effect, a lieing nazi cunt.

Then to stop the neighbours dumping their rubbish in your bin, you'll need a PIN for your bin, which you'll forget ro it will malfunction. Can't have bins smarter than us though can we?
