Abstract

A trash can with an indicating means for visually showing that the trash can has been emptied or collected. The indicating means for trash pickup provides visual indication from remote distances that a trash can has been emptied. It is intended to eliminate trips to the trash can location to only find out that the trash has not been emptied yet. The indicating means is intended for use on a trash can with an attached lid that is permanently connected via a hinge. The trash can may include other accessories such as wheels, handles, and the like. The indicating means may be utilized on trash cans of varying sizes from small to large. As such, the use of any specific size of trash can or use of accessories is not intended to be a limiting factor of the present invention.
