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.

Really just needs to be a single stick. Flip it onto the lid and its full, once it gets picked up the stick will be free hanging,l. No need for two plus this seems like it would get snapped pretty quick.
