Dustbins that could have you fined if you ignore recycling in Cleveland

All right, the future we’ve all been afraid of is here. No, robots aren’t taking over the world. Dustbins are. Intelligent dustbins being developed will just tell on you if you ignore recycling. Cleveland might just have these bins sooner than you think, using RFID-chips. The bins detect use over a period of time and are smart enough to know when you don’t use them. Keep your bin at home for too long without giving away the waste, and city workers will go through your trash. If 10% recyclable materials are found, they’ll just burn a $100 hole in your pocket!

Hopefully, this might just encourage the people of Cleveland to recycle, or maybe just scare them into doing so. Recycle Cleveland! Or your dustbin will go tell the city that you aren’t!
