That’s all well and good until the truck driver operating the mechanical arm drops your bin into the truck. Spoiler alert: the bin will not be fished out, it is now garbage.

So those tags are going to have to be a little cheaper before I’ll use them. :-)

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that happening to someone!

Luckily these are only £5 each https://www.alibaba.com/x/1lBJtin?ck=pdp

The majority of cost is the wrover and the programming jig (which I think the manufacturer built to order, it’s very… home brew

		Yeah, our city’s new garbage contractor is kinda crap. After three weeks of no new bin (“You’ll get a new one on Tuesday.” “Which Tuesday?”), I sent the city solid waste manager after them. Next day, new bin. :-)

		Not the whole bin, but the operator managed to scrape off the hinged lid and both wheels from my recycling bin a few weeks back. Sent them photos and they sent me a new one.
