RFID chips

Hmmmm.......... 125kHz is below the frequency where mandatory EMC specs apply (150kHz).

I suspect you could build and sell a legal 'zapper'.

Surely the weight is measured by the lifting arm and would always work. The RFID chip is for determining the owner of the bin.

The simplest zapper is a kitchen piezo gas lighter slightly adapted

Silly me. Misreporting at fault there. So I suppose they had to enter the street address.

And you know this how ? ;~)

The data does say the ESD limit is 2 kV.

I doubt a binman is capable of such a thing.

Hence the delays ! I gather a councillor actually went out on a round with them to confirm all this. Astonishing for one of our elected representatives to do anything so resourceful ! Of course maybe it was because all the RFID tags had been removed / zapped ?

I suspect that 15 seconds in a microwave oven would render it useless.

Now, then, what about the RFID chips that the manufacturers have been putting in the heels of your shoes, the linings of your coats and jackets, in the front and rear bumpers of your cars, etc., usw.?

that probably meant the binmen had to fill in the blanks when the RFID fails (due to lost/damaged/defective RFID token)

I want to see the look of dismay as he realised his spying plan was going down the drain.

DO NOT EVER microwave a pair of shoes you have been wearing. Imagine smelly feet multiplied by about 500.

Which would only work if the binmen always returned the bin to the same house. Mine do seem to manage to do that though. How about a comunity scheme where everybody swaps bins a few houses to the right every week?

Ours are always returned to the correct owner. Most people paint their house number on it! I don't bother as a bin is a bin and we don't have a weighing system.

My neighbour gets annoyed if I put them the wrong way round though (our driveways are next to each other so we wheel each others up and down), as he keeps his clean and I don't!

People have made a thing from the flash of a disposable camera with a little coil.

If it won't damage the rest of the product then a few seconds in the microwave oven would do the job too.
