Wychavon’s Executive Board has confirmed that microchips will not be installed when the district’s new waste and recycling services are introduced later in the year.
The decision was taken after considering the cost of installing microchips with public opinion and the likelihood of the Government requiring the Council to charge by weight.
Councillor Anna Mackison, Board member for Environment said “From the start this has been a tricky one for Wychavon. The microchips would have some advantages of helping to identify missed collections and link bins with individual properties plus support the monitoring of recycling participation levels.”
“However, we felt that the fitting of microchips did not provide value for money and would be unpopular with some of our residents, and so we will not be putting them in.”
