FLIP IT UP • LET THE TRUCK DO THE REST
Stop Checking The Trash Can. Just Look For Ready Eddie™.
A simple mechanical pickup indicator that helps you see whether your curbside bin has already been emptied — without walking down the driveway just to open the lid.
TRASH DAY AT A GLANCE
🗑️ Pickup Status 👀 One-Glance Check 🔋 No Batteries 📵 No App
THE BIN LOOKS THE SAME BEFORE AND AFTER PICKUP
“Did The Garbage Truck Come Yet?”
From the house, a closed curbside bin can look exactly the same whether it is still full or already empty. So you walk outside, go down the driveway, lift the lid... and sometimes discover you checked for nothing.
Ready Eddie™ gives your bin a simple visible status signal.
UP MEANS WAIT. DOWN MEANS DONE.
A Simple Mechanical Signal For Trash Day.
Set Ready Eddie™ upright when you put the bin out. When the collection truck lifts and tips the cart, the movement and gravity change Eddie's position so you have a visual clue after service.
🟧
Bright Orange Signal
The high-visibility orange figure creates a clear contrast against common green, blue, brown and black curbside carts.
⬆️
Up = Waiting
Raise Eddie when the bin goes to the curb so you know collection is still pending.
⬇️
Down = Done
After the cart is lifted, emptied and returned, Eddie's changed position gives you a quick visual signal.
⚙️
Mechanical Simplicity
No Wi-Fi, app pairing or battery routine is needed for the basic visual status function.
SAME DRIVEWAY. FEWER USELESS TRIPS.
From Walking Outside To Knowing At A Glance.
BEFORE
Walk Out & Check
Walk down the driveway, open the lid and find out whether collection happened.
AFTER
Just Look For Eddie.
Check the orange status indicator from the house before deciding whether it's time to bring the bin back.
TWO POSITIONS. ONE EASY ROUTINE.
You Don't Need A Screen To Understand The Status.
The whole system is designed around one easy visual rule.
🙋
EDDIE UP
Still waiting for pickup.

EDDIE DOWN
The cart has been tipped and serviced.
MADE FOR REAL TRASH-DAY ANNOYANCES
Especially Useful When The Curb Isn't Right Outside The Door.
Ready Eddie™ is most useful in the situations where “just go check” gets old quickly.
🏡
Long Driveways
Check the visual signal before making the walk all the way down to the curb.
♻️
Trash & Recycling
Use an indicator on each compatible cart so you can tell which service is complete.
🌧️
Bad Weather
Avoid unnecessary curb checks when it's raining, cold, windy or simply unpleasant outside.
💻
Work-From-Home Days
Look out the window between meetings instead of walking outside to check the cart.
NO SMART-HOME SETUP REQUIRED
Three Steps. That's The Routine.
Attach it to a compatible cart, flip Eddie up on trash day and check his position after collection.
1
Attach
Install Ready Eddie™ at the compatible bin-handle location according to the supplied instructions.
2
Flip Up
Raise Eddie when you put the cart out for collection.
3
Glance
After pickup, check Eddie's position before deciding whether it's time to bring the cart back.
ONE VISUAL SIGNAL. WITHOUT ANOTHER APP.
Skip The Walk-To-The-Curb Routine.
✕ THE OLD WAY
Wonder if the truck came.
Walk down the driveway.
Open the lid.
Check inside.
Repeat later if pickup hasn't happened.
✓ THE READY EDDIE™ WAY
Set Eddie upright.
Let normal collection happen.
Check the orange signal.
No battery required.
No app or Wi-Fi required.
SMALL PRODUCT. VERY OBVIOUS SIGNAL.
Bright Orange Is Hard To Miss.
Ready Eddie™ doesn't need a screen or flashing light. The raised orange figure simply creates a high-contrast visual reference on the top of the cart.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO WALK OUTSIDE
Especially When The Weather Is Miserable.
Rain, cold, wind or extreme heat can make an unnecessary curb check even more annoying. A visible status signal can help you decide whether the trip is actually needed.
ONE OF THOSE “WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THIS BEFORE?” PRODUCTS
A Tiny Fix For A Weekly Annoyance.
It doesn't change trash day. It simply makes one familiar question easier to answer.
“I can finally tell if pickup happened without walking all the way outside.”
“Such a simple idea, but it makes our long driveway much less annoying.”
“Eddie down means it's time for somebody to bring the bins back.”
