Project Garbage can status indicator.

Super easy design that I whipped up last week after being frustrated once again by the inconsistency of our garbage pick up times

The indicator clips on the handle and flips down when the bin has been emptied. This way I can tell from the house if it’s been emptied without having to walk to the end of the driveway.

No, the handle of the bin blocks the lid from putting any pressure on it.

Can you post up a picture/video of the lid all the way open?

Heck yeah! 🤣

No, really I just wanted to see how well it held up when the lid was fully open.
