Who knows Ian .
Madness, but I looked and yes it has been chipped.
In the past they have rejected my bins and put a sticker on it ..

Maybe it's to stop you claiming your bin hasn't been emptied when it was. Without the chip they can't prove a thing, so they have to come around again and you get an extra free rubbish removal.

Also, normally if your bin was rejected and stickied by the council ranger, you could remove the sticker before the garbage truck arrived and nobody would be the wiser. With the chip, the garbage truck could identify if you tried that.

I was caught out a few times because after I'd put my bins out, neighbours would pile extra illegal items into them and they'd be stickied, and I'd be the one in trouble even though it wasn't my fault. It required extra sneakiness to get around that, but in the end those neighbours moved away or got told off.
