Now this is useful technology.
In other bin-related news, I recently discovered that the first person on the block to put the bin out, letting everyone else know what the right colour is, is called a "binfluencer" or if very old, a "harbinger".

@LaChasseuse that "binfluencer" effect becomes really apparent when someone puts out their trash on the wrong day:

Where I live, waste paper is put on the street in bundles and collected once a month. Just last month someone in my street put out their paper bundles a week to early. A few hour later there were a few more bundles. On the next morning almost half the houses in the street had at least one bundle of paper out.

To make matters worse, it was raining quite heavily that day...

@s3lph EEK what a nightmare!
