More than 30 councils are fitting microchips to wheelie bins ahead of possible "pay as you throw" schemes.
With an estimated nine years of landfill space left, councils up and down the UK are faced with tough decisions about what to do with the UK's waste.
Simply burying rubbish in the ground is no longer an option.
Local authorities face tough fines from the government on what they bury and by 2010 they will have to meet 40% of recycling targets to avoid EU sanctions.

Interesting piece of news there. Didn't realise that landfill space was running that low.
