blue boxes chipped, old or new news?

As you all know I haven't been around for a while and so have not seen all the threads... Anyway, the whole chipping of bins has really pee'd me off and so I went out to mine and low and behold it is chipped, as reported by all newspapers and media..
But did you know that your blue recycling box is also chipped? I checked mine today and found a small device about the size of a 2p with the label "World Tag - Logistic and Industrial Transponder" - so this means I have had 1 device in my garden that is bugged and another unit in my HOUSE that is also bugged.. This beggars belief that they did not inform us of the spying.
Anyway, I will be removing these devices and destroying them, so please, HBC come and get me and I will see you in court!

By the way, if this is the first uncovering of the blue boxes being bugged, if you are a newspaper, please at least give us some credit for the story - just printing the web address is enough, thanks.

Don't bother taking it out, have a look for a single pensioner and swop bins and boxes, that will put the cat among the pigeons.

i say we shoudl collect all these chips and re locate them in the councils brown box's so that we can manage how much crap they output

edit:

wouldnt it be nice if we could arrange a collection point for these chips so that everybody could hand them in , then dump them on teh counter of the town hall

surely you cant be done for returning unwanted items and who teh hell gave te council power to put bugs in our homes iem pretty sure this breaks soem law

surely you can take them off the bins,if they havnt informed you that they have been put on there you can take them off and say you thought that kids have put them on there,or tell them you dont want them on your property(i mean the garden/yard

Re: blue boxes chipped, old or new news?

Ages ago when my daughter came home from school with a pledge form - the council promising something to schools for the number of people each pupil could convert to recycling - I asked the blue box collecting man how they would know who was or wasn't participating and he showed me the circular device under the rim of the blue box. He said it was just for monitoring who was recycling so they knew which school they had made the pledge to.

I hope that makes sense.
