MMM-MyWastePickup (Toronto waste collection schedule)

[imchrisrein]

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)

		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”);

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@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.

[JerryP]

@mike2323

may’i ask how you edit the file??? I got the same problem last week whit the Dutch variant mmm-MyGarbage
I help @leentje whit the problem.

If you trey to edit the file in Grany or excel or something else its keep saying “No schedule”
You must edit the file on the mirror i’t self

This is the way of the Dutch variant…
in the Terminal

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyGarbage
sudo rm garbage_schedule.csv. (deletet corrupted file)
sudo nano garbage_schedule.csv (make new file)

Copy past…
WeekStarting,green,gray,blue,orange
11/18/20,0,1,0,1
11/25/20,1,0,0,0
12/02/20,0,1,0,0
12/09/20,1,0,0,0
12/16/20,0,1,0,1
enz…
Save the file

Than
sudo reboot (the mirror must reboot not cntr+r) hard reset!!

Thats work whit the dutch variant…

@stoffbeuteluwe I wonder if it’s the spaces you have after the commas? I think that might confuse the parser

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@j-e-f-f Hi, is it possible to change the names (Green Bin und the other names) I ask because I’m from Germany

[j.e.f.f]

@stoffbeuteluwe No you can’t change those names. The code explicitly looks for those header names. But they are never exposed to the module’s display – only icons are displayed

If it helps, here are what the headers refer to:

GreenBin: refers to compost
Garbage: household waste that is not compost or recyclable
Recycling: recyclable waste
YardWaste: waste from gardening or landscaping (leaves, grass clippings, etc)
ChristmasTree: usually a service provided in January that picks up dead Christmas trees after the festive season is over.
