MMM-MyWastePickup (Toronto waste collection schedule)

[twosquirrels]

@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.

[WayneRigley]

@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

[WayneRigley]

@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.

[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 ?

[twosquirrels]

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)

		module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
		position: 'top_left',
		header: 'Wheelie Bin Collections',
		config: {
			collectionCalendar: 'Custom'

@twosquirrels for me it works …

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

[j.e.f.f]

@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:

@j-e-f-f Thank you, it works. Great Modul. Nice Icons.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@KamiSchami Can you show how to change that successfuly …I’m from Germany too

[KamiSchami]

@Stoffbeuteluwe

Zeile 116 dateContainer.innerHTML = pickUpDate.format(“dddd”);
Zeile 118 dateContainer.innerHTML = pickUpDate.format(“DD. MMM YYYY”);

@KamiSchami Ok Danke

I had this working fine on my Magic Mirror with a custom schedule, but now that I’ve started from scratch and created a new Magic Mirror install - MMM-MyWastePickup shows ‘No Schedule’ on the main page.

Here’s my config:

{
	
		module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
		position: 'upper_third',
		header: 'Bin Schedule',
		config: {
		  collectionCalendar: 'Custom',
		}
	},```

And my schedule:

Calendar,WeekStarting,GreenBin,Garbage,Recycling,YardWaste,ChristmasTree
Custom,02/07/21,0,0,1,0,0
Custom,02/14/21,1,0,0,0,0
Custom,02/21/21,0,0,1,0,0
Custom,02/28/21,1,0,0,0,0

And a pic of how it looks on the Magic Mirror

@mike2323
that works fine for me …
if it does not work in your case…there would be another problem.
