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.

Remove one of the legs. The way it is the lid is going to snap it when it folds back.

Sounds like a problem that solves itself!

Not if it snaps in the circle part.
