Mid Sussex District Council claim the 112,000 Chip Bins are not going to be activated yet. They claim to have bought them as a precaution in case the Government made them Compulsory in the future.

bin brother is coming! this is the new way they are going to charge you in a near future and straight from your account, it is a method already use in Belgium.
I was impressed with Hastings council who said that the £1,000,000 on the new bins was so that if they blow away the bin could be returned to the correct house. Of course a tin of paint and a few stencils could do the same job but would never cost as much........
I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left..
You'll see the start of a new phenomenon soon. Bin Rage!!!!! Neighbours falling out because one accuses the other of emptying their household rubbish in the wrong bin. On the other hand, new alliances can be formed. Mrs S who lives on her own does not use her bin to full capacity, she will share the space in her bin with Mr and Mrs. C who have 6 kids in return for which master C (Jr) will mow her lawn.

I wonder if these chips could be disabled with a strong radio signal or a magnet passing over them? Park it next to youe nearest phone mast and see what happens.
We're all doomed! Head for the hills before they start heading for you!
