    Just report to your council that yours is stolen and you get a new one. Why waste $78.90?

    • dangerdanger on 27/10/2018 - 13:58

      You have to fill out an affidavit in SA.
      Councils also photo-recognise the serial on the sides of bins, so they know if the 'stolen' bin is still in circulation

                @happirt: They're more interested in who's throwing out what, how often, how much (weight), and whether they've paid for that extra bin. Sydney and Melbourne councils are the same, though don't know if they've completed the roll out across all of them yet.

                It's a cameras watching our garbage fall out of the bin world we live in now. As a bonus they can use it to keep tabs on the drivers.

        Both

      • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 27/10/2018 - 15:43

        Unless your local council is a smarty pants and has different coloured lids :(

      • [Deactivated] on 28/10/2018 - 01:09

        In Brisbane they've put RFIDs in all the lids. If they find an un-tagged bin it will get flagged for collection.

        Realistically then, the only reason it's worth buying these is if you're a commercial entity who puts your garbage into a larger bin / skip before collection.

        You can pay for an additional bin in my council. So I'm pretty sure the guys who drive the trucks just empty all the bins.

    • hollykryten on 27/10/2018 - 17:04

      Isn't that fraud to report to your local council that the bin was stolen when it really wasn't. I mean the council is a local arm of a government is it not. You would be basically defrauding a government.

        Hmmm, defrauding the fraudsters. Do two wrongs make a right?

      • Cleremy on 29/10/2018 - 09:55

        No councils are not a local arm of government as they cannot create laws but they act as if they are and even call themselves "local government". In the 80s there was a referendum to give them that power but it failed.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2018 - 17:29

          You re-inventing the term then? Never heard of LGAs? LG has always meant "councils" (municipalities, boroughs, shires etc): https://www.australia.gov.au/about-government/how-government…
          Councils make rules (often enforcable in law courts) and raise/manage public funds for (supposedly) public benefit, are mostly elected, and generally are run under the auspices of, drumroll, a state "Local Government Act". They have always been considered the third tier of government, albeit with reduced powers.

          In Brisbane they're all logged via RFID chips and GPS. They don't have to care, it'll get flagged in a report. It'll be someone else's job to go out and retrieve the un-tagged bin.

      80 litres? Holy cow. Ours is 140 litres.

      Good question though. Assuming the truck is compatible with 240L and assuming the council offers 240L one way or another then I doubt the driver would care enough to do anything about it.

        Yeah, a number of years ago I looked at our overflowing bins and was disgusted by the sight, so challenged the clan to take out the general waste bin only once every fortnight rather than weekly. For the most it's worked - just have to actually think about it rather than buy and chuck things away with a disengaged cerebral cortex.

    Our Council ( Mitcham SA ) will only replace a waste or reycling bin if it gets stolen and even then you need to fill out form and get signed by a JP or police officer.
    If Green bin gets nicked you have to replace yourself.
    If you want an extra Green bin collected they charge you an additional $$ per year.

    We have one spare and we store Firewood in it over winter
