That may already be a thing (garbage weighing) somewhere. There was a trial where residents were be billed by the weight of their garbage. The trial involved adding QR codes to the bins and an adapted garbage truck that weighed the bin and read the QR code upon disposal. I don't know what happened after the trial (or if they had an incognito mode).

Recyclables and organic are free, and non-recyclables includes a quota of x kg per month included in your monthly fee. You pay extra per kg if you go over the quota for non-recyclables in any month. The system encourages recycling, but at the risk of people contaminating the (free) recyclables bin with non recyclable material.
