Why did the truck driver look into my bin?

Waste and recycling collection vehicles contain cameras which allow drivers to see the waste and recyclables in the bins and scan the waste and recyclables for hazardous items or contaminants as the bin is emptied into the truck. 

If the driver sees anything on the camera (or anything visible from the road) that looks like it could be hazardous or a contaminant, the driver will place the bin down and the bin will not be serviced.  If the driver confirms that there is hazardous waste or a contaminant they will report this to Council.
