Stamped into the front or side of ours and highlighted in white, like the council logo. I don't know if the workers note down the bin number if they refuse to collect (aka red-sticker) a bin, to stop people reporting it as a missed collection once they've removed the offending items.Bins have serial numbers?

I read somewhere that clamping was abandoned in Paris after a concerted if impromptu campaign of civil disobedience which involved the citizenry carrying around tubes of super-glue, which they would squirt into any clamp they saw. The authorities were powerless to combat it, and ultimately forced to give up. Leaving Parisians free to assert their glorious traditional right to park on pavements, corners, zebra crossings, major intersections...

I swapped the lids of a few bins when they were first delivered. I know a few others that did the same, often miles away.
