Trash Bin Night Before Hanger

Problem addressed

Some households juggle multiple pickup streams: regular trash, recycling, organics, yard waste, bulky items, or seasonal collections. The hard part is not knowing the rules, but forgetting which bin must go out tonight, by what time, and where the bin lives. This skill turns scattered pickup dates into visible, printable reminders on bin handles or the front door, reducing reliance on memory or verbal handoffs.

How it works

It asks for the pickup streams, collection days, night-before target time, bin storage location, and household role assignments, then generates printable artifacts:

• Bin handle hangers: one card per stream with a large label such as TRASH, RECYCLING, or YARD WASTE, the pickup day, night-before deadline, storage spot, and a punch-hole marker.
• Door reminder card: lists the bins due tomorrow, the time deadline, quick checkboxes, and space for last-minute notes.
• Night-before checklist: empty small indoor bins, flatten cardboard, tie bags if required, move bins to the curb, and secure lids.
• Special-item line: flags bulky items, batteries, chemicals, electronics, paint, and other restricted materials that need local rule confirmation.
• Post-pickup reset checklist: bring bins back, replace liners, note missed or rejected items, inspect damage, and reset the door hanger.

Boundaries and notes

This skill organizes household reminder copy. It does not issue municipal disposal rulings, verify official pickup schedules, provide hazardous waste guidance, or advise on lifting safety. Users must confirm collection days, bin requirements, and restricted items with their municipality or waste provider.
