That’s all well and good until the truck driver operating the mechanical arm drops your bin into the truck. Spoiler alert: the bin will not be fished out, it is now garbage.
So those tags are going to have to be a little cheaper before I’ll use them. :-)
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that happening to someone!
Luckily these are only £5 each https://www.alibaba.com/x/1lBJtin?ck=pdp
The majority of cost is the wrover and the programming jig (which I think the manufacturer built to order, it’s very… home brew
Not the whole bin, but the operator managed to scrape off the hinged lid and both wheels from my recycling bin a few weeks back. Sent them photos and they sent me a new one.
I had that happen to me once. My bin had a broken wheel so I'm not sure if it was a mistake, they did it to help me out, or if they somehow did additional damage and took it. They gave me a new one without having to contact anyone so they knew they did it.
Yeah, our city’s new garbage contractor is kinda crap. After three weeks of no new bin (“You’ll get a new one on Tuesday.” “Which Tuesday?”), I sent the city solid waste manager after them. Next day, new bin. :-)
