Solid plan. One small add: pitch it as a one-week experiment with two tiny tweaks - move the bin to the far corner away from your shared wall and lay a piece of dry cardboard right on top of the scraps as a “lid.” If you show up with a bag of torn cardboard/shredded paper and quickly demo the two-inch cover it removes friction. Close with a check-in line like, “If it’s still noticeable and I’ll circle back next week and we can try another tweak,” so it stays collaborative and calm.
A lightweight tripod will eventually lose to wind and so plan to upgrade to thicker legs with fewer sections, a short center column and and a wider stance. Until then, go wide and low, use a timer to avoid touching the camera, and block gusts with your body or terrain.
