Trash schedule module
-
Hello reader,
I want to add some type of module to my screen that tells me if it’s a “trash only” week, or a “trash and recycling” week.I have a month calendar module up already, so I thought I could create two separate calendars and code them green/blue on pick-up days.
Ideally, I would prefer a separate part of my screen to show on Mondays and Tuesdays “take the trash out!” or “take both cans out!”
Does such a module exist? I looked through different forums and scheduling modules, but didn’t see any that I could manipulate into what I need.

@angeliKITTYx look thru the new 3rd party modules list
https://kristjanesperanto.github.io/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/you can search
there are 3 that come up for trash
-
@sdetweil weird - first time I searched, the only ones that came up were specific city databases. I see the locally customizable one now. Thanks! I’ll try that out.
-
@sdetweil Just tried this out and unfortunately MMM-SimpleTrashDay won’t work.
Our trash is every week, and recycling is every other week, so it’s not consistently “the 1st and 3rd week of the month”.

@angeliKITTYx You may want to have a look at MMM-MyGarbage. Looks like it may do what you want. You can setup your own schedule with it.
OR
You could look at the following one as well.

@angeliKITTYx You might want to look and see if your trash company provides a calendar that can be added to yours, then you can use a simple calendar app to show the schedule. Mine (Waste Management) does so and it’s a great no-nonsense method.
-
@BKeyport yes, as I explained in my original post, that was my back-up plan. I was hoping for a separate module if possible.
-
@mumblebaj ill try out that first one. The second link looks like it only works for a Toronto database.
-
@angeliKITTYx I’ve been using https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyWastePickup for years and it’s 100% customizable and not Toronto specific. You just edit the custom schedule file to set the days for your garbage/recycling pick up.

MyGarbge should work for you, it works with icons though. It uses a static CSV-file which you can build from a template that is part of the module.
The nice thing is, if you have a shift in day (due to holiday) this works with this module by just changing the day. I added a red trash can for off-schedule weeks as visual indicator.
