High Tech Recycling Bins Prod Clevelanders to Recycle or Risk Fines

By • on August 24, 2010

Cleveland’s recylcling bins now boast sensors that monitor whether residents are taking their recycling bins to the curb on garbage days. If the blue bin is not taken to the curb on the recycling basis, trash collectors will check out the bins to gauge whether trash is correctly sorted. If it is not, residents get dinged with a $100 fine.

    This isn’t something new.  RFID chips have been used in wheelie bins in the UK as well.  They’re not very welcome though as they’re an intrusive albeit “Big Brother” style technology that brings about resentment.  A more softly softly approach is really needed to get people recycling.  I still believe that if the general public saw the ROI associated with recycling, using initiatives such as local investment in projects that the general public could appreciate, there’d be far more households recycling their waste.
