An Aussie cerel has shared a wild conspiracy theory that follows his municipality what kind of waste he throws away after discovering a 'chip' in his trash.
The man pointed out what he believed was a monitor at the bottom of his container published by the Casey Council, in the southeast of Melbourne, in a tap on Tuesday.
“Did you know, the council even follows what you throw away?” He wrote.
“They have a chip here and they guard what you throw away in the truck.”
In a follow -up video, the man claimed that he received a 'naughty note' from the council because he had not removed the lids from his removed bottles.
“So someone looks at the bins,” he said.
'Whether someone sniffs and looks in my bins if the truck is, I don't know.
'I get a lot of hatred from my last video. I don't think people understand, this is a chip, so it only registers your address … It weighs the container, the truck weighs the container and the truck films that comes out of your trash. '

The chip looks like a TAG RFID (radio frequency identification), which is usually used to identify bins and their collection data such as the address, which can be used if someone reports that their container has disappeared.
Some Aussies claimed that they had received warnings from their councils based on what waste they had put in their bins.
“We have put several 'warnings' on ours for” incorrect use, “a person said.
“If they were not monitored, there would be no warnings.”
A Casey city spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, however 'Do not use and has no plans to use RFIDs or other tracking devices in one of the northern collection services'.
'The City Casey inspection program includes a manual inspection for infection in previously infected recycling or food and garden bins'.
The Horsham Rural City Council, in the northwest of Victoria, uses RFID tags on its organic waste and glass trays.
According to its website, the council uses the tags to ensure that the bins are on the right characteristic [they are] emptied '.
RFID technology is used by councils throughout the country when collecting waste bins (shares)
“The RFID tag does not always send, it is only activated if it is in the vicinity (a few centimeters) of the recipient on the truck,” he said.
“Usually it doesn't do anything because it doesn't have its own power source.”
Although the RFID tags have been rolled out in many council areas throughout the country, some Australians have complained that they received little information about their use.
In response to media speculation in 2017, Randwick City Council was forced to make a statement on its website.
'A recent story from Channel 7 News would want you to believe it is a kind of espionage device. The truth is a lot less sensational, “read the update.
'As many residents were to be aware, it has been there for ten years, it saves the council money and makes managing your waste more efficiently.
'The tag is assigned to the real estate address where the BIN lives. Every time it is collected, the garbage trucks from the council register the BIN tag number, the time of collecting and the weight of the bin. '
