Hi all,
Found MM and think it’s the bee’s knees… Have not been able to stopping thinking about how to use it :)
Looked at some of the bin collections modules and they are brilliant but I didn’t want to use CSV files. So I came up with a way to reuse the calendar module. Create a bin collection calendar in Google Calendar and then adding recurring entries for collections, for me it’s every two weeks on a Monday:

Moved any individual dates that clashed with Public Holidays (Easter Monday) etc and then added a new entry in config.js
{
module: "calendar",
header: "Bin Collection",
position: "bottom_left",
config: {
maximumEntries: 3, // as I only have 3 bins
fetchInterval: 3600000, // update every hour
timeFormat: "dateheaders", // group by date
maximumNumberOfDays: 14, // it's a two week cycle for me
fade: false, // no fade please
calendars: [
{
symbol: "trash", // trash icon :)
url: "webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/..../basic.ics" // update this to point to your bin calendar
}
]
}
},
and now the below is exactly what I need:

Hope this is of use to someone :)
