Don't know if it's these "AI cameras", but my garbage company started uploading videos of my "violations" to their portal to justify charging me more (bin was open a few inches a couple times). They have video of them picking up the bin (showing my car plates and house in the back), and also of the bin contents from another camera after they dump it into the truck.
I can only assume they're working on the "threw a non-recyclable item in recycle bin" logic so they can ~~charge more~~ protect the environment.
Makes sense though. There was trouble with people throwing hazardous waste into the green waste bins and then kids getting exposed to the material. Fuck those people.
