Garbage reminder system

A garbage reminder system comprising:

• a garbage can having an outer wall, said outer wall having a back side, said garbage can having a top pivotally coupled to said outer wall by hinges extending rearwardly above said back side of said outer wall wherein said top is configured to selectively cover an upper edge of said outer wall;
• an alarm unit being coupled to said garbage can, said alarm unit being programmable to emit an audible alarm at a selected time and date wherein said alarm unit is configured to issue a reminder to set the garbage can at a curb for pickup, said alarm unit comprising:
• a housing having a back wall and a front wall,
• a processor being positioned within said housing, said processor selectively generating an alarm sequence,
• a display being coupled to said front wall of said housing wherein said display is configured to be visible, said display being electrically coupled to said processor, said display displaying indicia, said indicia comprising a weekly calendar and a time of day,
• a timer being positioned within said housing, said timer being electrically coupled to said processor, said timer storing a weekly calendar, said timer tracking a time of day,
• a plurality of knobs, each of said knobs being rotatably coupled to said front wall of said housing wherein each of said knobs is configured to be manipulated, each of said knobs being electrically coupled to said processor, said plurality of knobs including a day knob, a time knob and an alarm knob, said day knob selecting one of the days of the weekly calendar as an trigger day, said time knob selecting a trigger time, said processor generating said alarm sequence on said trigger time of said trigger day,
• a plurality of buttons, each of said buttons being movably coupled to said front wall of said housing wherein each of said buttons is configured to be manipulated, each of said buttons being electrically coupled to said processor, said plurality of buttons controlling operational parameters of said processor, said plurality of buttons including a stop button and a reset button, said stop button stopping said alarm sequence when said stop button is manipulated, said reset button resetting said trigger day and said trigger time to a default,
• a speaker being coupled to said housing, said speaker being positioned on a sidewall of said housing between said front wall and said back wall wherein said speaker is configured to emit an audible alarm, said speaker being electrically coupled to said processor, said processor turning said speaker on when said processor generates said alarm sequence wherein said speaker is configured to audibly alert to position said garbage can at the curb for pickup,
• a plurality of light emitters, each of said light emitters being coupled to said housing wherein each of said light emitters is configured to emit light, each of said light emitters being electrically coupled to said processor, said processor turning each of said light emitters on when said processor generates said alarm sequence wherein each of said light emitters is configured to visually alert to position said garbage can at the curb for pickup,
• a switch being slidably coupled to said front wall of said housing wherein said switch is configured to be manipulated, said switch being electrically coupled to said processor, said switch being selectively positioned in a flash position such that only said light emitters are turned on when said processor generates said alarm sequence, said switch being selectively positioned in a flash and alarm position such that said plurality of light emitters and said speaker are turned on when said processor generates said alarm sequence, said switch being selectively positioned in an alarm position such that only said speaker is turned on when said processor generates said alarm sequence, and
• a power supply being removably positioned within said housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to said processor, said power supply comprising at least one battery;
• a lid being hingedly coupled to said housing such that said lid selectively covers said front wall of said housing when said lid is closed, said lid having a first wall and a perimeter wall extending away therefrom, said perimeter wall being hingedly coupled to said front wall of said housing;
• and
• a pair of mating members, each of said mating members being coupled to said back wall of said housing, each of said mating members engaging said back side of said garbage can such that said housing is retained on said garbage can such that said hinges are positioned overhanging said housing.
