Unless I misunderstood, this system is for council owned bins, not residents bins

Once again you miss the point. This is about PUBLIC bins.

[Bob Eager]

In some areas, the properties have no space for bins, so there are public bins on the roads. Sometimes in quite inconvenient places (for the traffic). Brighton has a lot, for example:

If you swing round 180 degrees you will see the properties they serve.

Oy shit for brains. Don?t you ever read anything without fully understanding what was written. The bins the OP mentioned were public ones not household.

Like you wits then.

It?s public bin in the street, not a household bin.
