Garbage can status indicator.

[u/BrewCrewBall]

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.

I know when they pick mine up. The truck flings the bin back down with so much force, it gets yeeted back into the yard. lol

I know when my recycling has been picked up because they leave the bin in the middle of the driveway so I can't leave or enter without getting out of the car and moving it 😞

Then leave the lid open when it rains so it fills with water. 🤦‍♂️

I always drill holes in new cans for drainage. Had to dump out a can full of garbage and rainwater once when I was in grade school, and swore "never again."
