-The bin itself it a standard injection molded affair as you'll find in many cities across the world. I identified a suitably discreet pocket inbetween two reinforcing ribs, that was just about large enough for the tracker, and set about designing a housing. Eventually I arrived at a form where one half is permanently affixed to the bin, and the other secured to the first via two print-in-place screws, facilitating occasional removal for the aforementioned charging. The PebbleBee claims IPX6 water-resistance, but since it will always be facing downwards it should never get directly wet, besides condensation or humidity. Nevertheless I added a hole to the half that houses the tracker, doubling up as an outlet for the built in speaker and as a drain hole for any moisture that does accumulate.
