Hi Joel,  thought you might enjoy this garbage.

…officials took random samples of waste from households and picked through what was being throwing out without telling homeowners. In one area, houses were even pigeon-holed into social categories to see the difference in the rubbish thrown out from rich and poor. …The Government has brought in a number of measures recently to boost recycling, including fortnightly bin collections and separate food waste collections. Ministers have also proposed bringing in “pay as you throw” bin taxes where residents are charged for throwing away non-recycled waste. As part of this many councils are already “spying” by implanting microchips in residents’ bins in order to measure how much waste they are throwing out.
