Was looking for one of these to remind me of the bins. Missed to take them out a couple of times.

I was just about to post that…
This is better:
Put Google reminder in your partner's mobile & she will shout & will let you know it is time to do your work.Mom’s are even better! When they nag; you’d rather neck yourself then listen to their nagging!
Bugger that.
She can put the bins out!
free if you use Calendar on your phone
If I forget, I walk out to the curb and use my eyes to see what the neighbours have out. ;)
I once had both my neighbours put out different bins.. so confused and torn in the middle I was.
That is when you put both out and let the garbage people decide ;)
LOL. +1
My neighbors did it better :)
How could you miss if the whole street already put their bins out except you. :DHow could you miss if the whole street already put their bins out except you. :D
When you are drunk.
Or colourblind.
Or just blind.
Didn't leave the house that day?
I just see what the neighbours have put out as I drive home… sometimes they get it wrong though lol.
..then the whole row of houses get it wrong :P
It's better to look correct and be wrong than to be right and look incorrect.
Follow those lemmings off the cliff
Not if you've got things in your bin that you REALLY need gone.
@Waynes world: If you have things you REALLY need gone. I'd suggest not using a bin. Evidence is pretty easily recoverable
Is it's in a bin in a public area, it's deniable :)
Haha … I put on purpose the wrong one out to confuse everyone :-)
And did the whole block follow you?
Ha!
I religiously put my bin out early every week (routine) and mine are typically the first out. Once, just once I had a brain failure and put the wrong bin out.
By the time I realised and went out to swap them, too late, damage done, majority of street wrong (sorry guys, I let you down).
I never realised I played such an important role (dusts fingers on shirt).
The guide to 'How to (profanity) with your neighbours'.
Bloody hell, that will save me having to buy a pencil to mark a calendar, keep the large magnetic colour coded fridge magnet my council gave me, or overtax the calender app on my smart-phone. Can you also program what the colours of the bin lid means?
Talk about a solution looking for a problem…
sprayPaint.NET 4.7.1 Framework?
Are you incapable of remembering to put your bins out on a certain day every week or are you incapable of seeing other people's bins out? Not sure.
Coming soon, gadget in bathroom to remind you to brush your teeth.

It's one of dem tings what it is that wakes you up at eight o'clock, boils the kettil, and pours a cuppa tea.Eccles:
Ohhh yeah. What's it called? Um.Bluebottle:
My Grandma.
Is this kit a ripoff of something a tinkering inventor just put out?
Boo Jaycar
Yeah that’s what I was referencing
Damn you Jaycar, poor form.
In vic you might not need to be reminded to take out recycling bins if they stop collecting .

A lot of people saying this is unnecessary but I've got one and I reckon it's legendary. Fun to put together if you're into electronics and it helps me out all the time. Sure I've got a phone but a reminder goes off and I look at it and then I move on with my life, whereas this thing flashes all night so I have no excuse. Also can handle complex schedules with regular bins, recycling and garden waste.
You can still do all of that on your phone.
True. You can use it for other things if you want as well.
I use a 9 pm alarm set on Thursdays. Even basics phone have a weekly alarm now.
If you live in Brisbane QLD, there's an app for that. Called What Bin Day. It's great
Looks like we're spoilt for choice - there's also this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applicatio…
More rubbish for the rubbish…
I think most sane people would just use their phone
Calendar on phones are cheaper and more effective. Or set up google/Alexa to remind you
Will be $5 in the bargain bin soon
I just copy what my neighbors are doing..Ez
Seems like a waste of money. Normally I just take the red (garbage) bin out first, then check the street if the green (organics) bin or yellow (recycling) bins are out, then take the same bin out.
I think people are missing the point of this product. It is a DIY kit for those dabbling in electronics. The value is in the statisfaction of putting the kit together.
There is more satisfaction in putting something useful together. In the age of the mobile phone, this isn't it.
You can use My Waste app also. ACT collections schedules are available in it, so check for your local area.
Waste apps are the way to go. i downloaded my local councils app and it sends me a message what bins are out each week. It also sends other information- just this week it sent a reminder to leave green bin by the curb to be replaced. another week they said collection will be delayed as one of the trucks broke down.
I'd like to know which area has four bins and what the forth bin is for?
Electronics recycling ;)
Electronics Waste like this one
If you stick your housemates/family member photos on the box in place of the bins, it becomes a nice chores reminder.
I need one of these but instead reminds me to wash my car after weather is clear for at least 5-7 days.
i just follow my neighbours. it has served me well for years …
Just check what bins your neighbors have out - cost FREE!!!
I use a calendar with a magnet placed on the fridge - and it's free. Who would buy this absolute POS.
I use https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/6285327 for recurring reminder - it's FREE!
