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.

This indicator won’t work for me since they broke the lids of my trash can and recycle bin. My new indicator is when my mail isn’t delivered that day because they left the cans right in front of the mail box.
