London's trashcans getting spy-chips

South Londoners’ trash-cans are getting sensor-implants that snitch them out to the Council for their wastefulness.

Residents of Croydon, south London, have been told that the microchips being inserted into their new wheely bins may well be adapted so that the council can judge whether they are producing too much rubbish.

If the technology suggests that they are, errant residents may be visited by officials bearing advice on how they might “manage their rubbish more effectively”.
