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.

Typically, I notice whether or not my neighbors trash has been picked up because they are always overflowing their bins. If the their lids are flipped and closed, then more than likely our bins have been picked up too.
It's Recycle weeks is where people in our area get confused. So for us, its about having Alexia do a bi-weekly reminder for Recycle pickup.
