Tiny. Suspect it would only accept that Ferrero Rocher nonsense they flash around embassy get togethers. And mock turtle soup sachets would be a bare minimum. Where wus yeh raized gurl?

Migrant Smuggling. The problem has predominantly been about migrants getting from outside the EU, into the EU, and then into the UK, because the Migrants have been led to believe that the UK offers (one of?) the best economic packages within the EU.
Will that perception persist and be encouraged by France post-BREXIT?
Will established EU Citizens be looking enviously at the UK post-BREXIT?
Cars stolen from within the UK are right hand drive. Some journalists report that in Russia and Eastern Europe there is added snob value to driving a RHD car. Err, no.

So you think I might have to wave the Hotel Chocolat tray at it before it will accept a Heinz soup can?

A really smart bin wouldn't take any old trash, it would have standards. You may have to tempt it with some choice items. Just think of it - rejected by your trashcan as being too common.

A Smart Bin might outsmart some of the people who thought it was a good idea.

I'm getting close to the point where my county councilor is going to have the task of disposing of my rubbish from his front garden.
I reckon there aren't many haulage companies who would knowingly transport migrants. I have not seen many stories recently about drivers being fined for spotting stowaways and driving them to the nearest immigration facility / police station - but one must suspect that the people we are tasking with catching and returning illegals aren't up to the job or are simply pleasuring themselves with other less onerous duties.

tomo, I'm making serious efforts to get rid of junk so that it's not still kicking around when they start charging at tips.
Martyn, at that point you fine the lorry companies. Cost per migrant, one lorry plus contents. You wouldn't get a lot of repeat offenders.

TinyCO2 - re: digibins
the Noah'sark quote "If you build it they will come" will be rejigged by municipal enforcement to "we'll impose it so they'll have to suck it up" - my own council is reducing the size of bins and restricting access to tips - some councils have fitted weighing equipment and RFID tags. I'd wager that one local authority will find the budget in these "days of austerity" to enhance their snooping etc.

Destination only locks, thats like a door to door service which makes much more sense than jumping on at Calais. Fit the lorries out with a kitchen, bathroom and bunk beds and the journey could turn out quite popular. My guess is that it would probably be wiser to book in advance on the iphone to make sure of the bottom bunk.

Something special at Christmas to prevent them leaving a smelly mess in the neighbourhood? (Ok, it doesn't always work with traditional human technology)
