Here in the UK, there is an ongoing problem with rubbish collection.
A lot of councils are introducing bi-weekly collections now, to promote re-cycling.
This leads to problems with other householders placing their overflow rubbish into your own bin, once you have placed the bin OUT for collection.
Sometimes not "the correct rubbish" so that your bin is not emptied.
Some councils will not empty your bin if the lid is not fully closed.
Also, possible introduction of being charged by weight.
I'm contemplating different methods to stop this happening.
Magnetic alarm, or micro-switch, tied in with mercury switch so that they don't go off when emptied, early hours of the morning.
Margarine on handles, etc. (Not razor blades !)
Some sort of auto lock, that opens when bin upturned?
Suggestions ?
