<![CDATA[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.

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.

You just edit the custom schedule file to set the days for your garbage/recycling pick up.

The second link looks like it only works for a Toronto database.

I was hoping for a separate module if possible.

Mine (Waste Management) does so and it’s a great no-nonsense method.

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.
MMM-MyWastePickup

Our trash is every week, and recycling is every other week, so it’s not consistently “the 1st and 3rd week of the month”.

I see the locally customizable one now. Thanks! I’ll try that out.
