Responding to a new Governement White Paper, Withering Parish Council have initiated a proposal to monitor waste disposal in the valley. With the new wheelie bin proposal having been given the green light, councillors are now looking into the idea of monitoring what we throw into our rubbish bins. A wheelie bin with a miniture camera on the lid will record everything that is thrown away. This new high tech camera, complete with nano x-ray, will be able to see what every householder throws into their bins. Monitored at a regional disposal unit, it will give daily updates on what householders are disposing of in their wheelie bins. Asked to comment on this proposal, Councillor Greenwood, Head of Refuse, Recycling and Wheelie Bin activity said.
'Central government is very keen on recycling, as are we, and as a forward thinking authority we need to keep abreast of all available technology that enables us to monitor what is acceptable and not acceptable in refuse management. For far too long the residents of Withering have been putting any old rubbish into their bins, and its time they stopped.'
Keith Batch, head of CRAP, Council Refuse Alternative Practices said. 'Once again the council have gone completely overboard with this Big Brother CCTV action. Cameras in your bin? What Next?' He said. An energy meter on your mattress. This is state control gone mad!'
The new proposal will be put forward to the Refuse ans Recycling Cabinet at their next meeting on Wednesday 2nd December.
The editor and all the staff at The Withering News apologise for the failure to produce a paper last week. Due to recent global financial developments and circumstances beyond our control, the paper failed to hit the newstands. We are now back and thank you for your continued support.
The Editor.
