@waynerigley The screenshot of your google drive isn’t helpful, because the final result likely has leading/trailing blank spaces, or some other issue that prevents it from parsing correctly. Edit schedule_custom.csv directly at the command line on your raspberry pi.

@twosquirrels Thank you for the FAST reply… as im new to this please bare with me. im using putty and VNC and FIleZilla while using this. I made the excel on google and downloaded it to my laptop in CSV with the correct name. then filezilla to get it to the folder. can you give me a command to check what you need me to do. thanks in advance !

In putty, once you ssh into your raspberry pi, do:
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyWastePickupThen:
sudo nano schedule_custom.csvYou’re now viewing the contents of schedule_custom.csv. I don’t remember if it included a sample or not, but just edit/type/paste your data here. When done, press Control X to exit. It will ask to save, and say “Y” for yes. The contents of the file should look like my post above from 2 months ago.

@waynerigley Remove the double quotes from your entire file. For example, it should look like this:
Calendar,WeekStarting,GreenBin,Garbage,Recycling,YardWaste,ChristmasTreeNot this:
"Calendar,WeekStarting,GreenBin,Garbage,Recycling,YardWaste,ChristmasTree"Also, remove them from the beginning and end of all following lines.

@waynerigley Great! As tiny as this module is, it’s one of the things I appreciate most about the magic mirror. There’s no API to depend on… just a plain old text file that I update once a year.
-
@twosquirrels Yes, size dont matter its the quality and this is %100 Quality. its always a battle to check and get things out on time here being so busy. but now its in place its perfect ! Thank you so Much for your time. now to configure my timelines as our local dept just has a cal. no worries tho it will give me something to do now till the end of the day

@twosquirrels One question for you is; if Gargabe is being picked up on the 14th at am we put the garbage out on the 13th before bed. so should i put the date on the custom as 13th. only reason is i notice the text string showing “today” on the screen.
-
@waynerigley The way the module is written, it wants to tell you the day that garbage is picked up. For me, I put the trash out the same morning as it’s picked up a couple hours later. So in my situation, it makes sense. For you, indeed setting all dates back one day would work. However, you might also want to clarify the header of the module for others reading it. For example, the default is:
header: 'Waste & Recycling',If you set all dates back, you may want to change it to:
header: 'When to put out Waste & Recycling',
