Laconia Trash Pickup

[baygo]

We got our new receptacles for the automated trash pickup today. I am confused and concerned. There is no difference between the ones they dropped off and our old receptacles with the exception of a unique bar code on each receptacle. Why would they want to track each receptacle? Perhaps so they can charge us by weight in the future or they can track down who tears off and throws away the tag on their mattress.
