BIN BROTHER is watching you.

When Randwick City Council began replacing its 78,000 residential garbage and recycling bins last month, a resident, Dan Himbrechts, scratched his head. Why get rid of old ones that seemed to work perfectly well?

His suspicions grew further when he noticed a small, flat, circular object hidden under the rim of his new bin. About the size of a 10-cent coin, it had the letters "TI-RFid" embossed on it.

A quick Google search and Mr Himbrechts realised what he was looking at - an electronic tracking device known as a radio frequency identification tag.

His bin was not alone. All of Randwick's new bins have the technology installed. The 90,000 bins in the Ryde local government area were also fitted with them in 2006.

Both councils have waste collection contracts with WSN Environmental Solutions, a state-owned company whose garbage trucks are able to weigh bins as they are unloaded onto the truck.
