Never forget to put the right bin out again!

This wheelie bin model is part of a project which tells you which coloured recycle bin is due to be collected.   The code checks your local council for up to date information and this device connects via WiFi to display that information.  

The bin has a light baffle to allow displaying up to four different colours and a cut-out for a USB cable. It's designed to fit an ESP8266.
