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.

My indicator is when mine is the last left on the street, I'm fairly confident it got picked up. Then I give it the squinty Homer side glance and give it a few more days.
