MMM-MyWastePickup (Toronto waste collection schedule)

twosquirrels

@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',

Thanks for writing this one, it will be a big help for my girlfriend who just moved in. It took quite some time trying to figure out the code and then tailor it to my local schedule but it works and looks great. Toronto published their 2019 schedule online but the titles had spaces and the year format was wrong for some days.

Wednesday = Paper recycling and big household pickup
Thursday = Garbage pickup
Monday = Garbage and glass/plastic recycling

Such a neat module - thanks again.

Question about this module.
Is it any way to change the icons as i got two trash bin that are in the same color and size the only difference is that one is marked with number 1 and the other number 2 and the collections is every
Thursday and garbage can 1 on uneven week and garbage can 2 on even week so can these dates be entered manually? since in my area there is nothing for pickup published on the internet.

Or is it some other modules like this that can do this ?

This has always been my most reliable and dead simple module. However, I reinstalled my raspberry pi yesterday and MMM-MyWastePickup no longer works. It sits at “Loading…” forever. I know how to edit the schedule.csv file as I’ve been doing it for over a year. It just refuses to work and I have no idea why.

{
  module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
  position: 'top_left',
  header: 'My Waste Collection',
  config: {
    collectionCalendar: 'Custom'
  }
},

@twosquirrels any errors show up either in the log or in Electron’s console?

I’m loving this simple little module! I’m just trying to work out how I show only collections and not the blank days in between. I’ve tried adjusting the config variables but don’t seem to be getting the desired results. Ideally I only want to see the next two upcoming collections (what ever they may be)

Hi, how can i change the date format? I live in Germany. Thank you.

@KamiSchami My module doesn’t support this. But if you want to modify it for your needs, the lines in particular are 116 and 118:

      //determine how close pickup day is and formats accordingly.
      var today = moment().startOf("day");
      var pickUpDate = moment(pickup.pickupDate);
      if (today.isSame(pickUpDate)) {
        dateContainer.innerHTML = this.translate("TODAY");
      } else if (moment(today).add(1, "days").isSame(pickUpDate)) {
        dateContainer.innerHTML = this.translate("TOMORROW");
      } else if (moment(today).add(7, "days").isAfter(pickUpDate)) {
        dateContainer.innerHTML = pickUpDate.format("dddd");     // here...
      } else {
        dateContainer.innerHTML = pickUpDate.format("MMMM D");     //...and here
      }

This will help figure out your formatting options:
