It's not like they can really inspect the contents of your bin before the machinery dumps it all into the truck. You'd have to do something really dumb to get caught. Those rules really depend on most people not being dicks about it.
- _coldfire 9y agoMost garbage collection in Australia has a camera to inspect bin contents and catch people abusing the recycling system. It's been in place for a decade now. https://www.news-mail.com.au/news/waste-truck-watching-you-garbage-council-removal/577961/ https://www.news-mail.com.au/news/waste-truck-watching-you-g...
- micv 9y agoThat's interesting. The non-recyclable waste is normally packaged up into black bags here in the UK and it's often pretty noxious. They're not gonna slice them open so a camera can have a look, so people can put almost anything in them so long as it fits.
