Why not simply ask the council, rather than rely on what some jurno thinks it might be.

I would say the only info the chip sends is......

My owner lives at 1, I throw away too much :rotfl:

Another info will be sent via the reciever on the truck.:D

They make a note of all recyclables you throw away instead of recycling. It stores all the data from any paperwork. It sends info to your doctor about the foods you eat. it records the weight and type of all discarded food. It knows if you smoke and/or drink and what you smoke and drink.

I can't see how any of that would be helpful without knowledge of your gender, race and sexuality....

From memory, when I looked into this, it was the fact that it had been emptied when it should, and the weight.
