Note

This works off of a static CSV file obtained from the city of Toronto's website here: https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/solid-waste-pickup-schedule/

As such, this module currently only has data until the end of the year 2021.In 2022 and subsequent years, download the new schedule and copy it over the existing schedule.csv file in this module's directory.

Using Your Own Custom Schedule

If you live outside of Toronto and you'd like to use this module, you can create your own schedule to use with this module.

1. First, in your config specify collectionCalendar: 'Custom'.
2. Create a CSV based on the following template:

Calendar,WeekStarting,GreenBin,Garbage,Recycling,YardWaste,ChristmasTree
Custom,03/07/18,1,0,1,0,0
Custom,03/14/18,1,1,1,0,0
Custom,03/21/18,1,0,1,0,0
Custom,03/28/18,1,1,1,0,0

Add lines for each pickup date as needed

The following points are very important:

• The CSV file must be delimited using commas
• The first line containing the headers must appear exactly as above. If the module is stuck on "Loading..." after you've created your custom schedule, double-check that none of the headers are misspelled.
• You MUST use the schedule name Custom at the beginning of each line.
• The date format needs to be specified as MM/DD/YY (e.g.: 05/28/18 for 28-May-2018)
• The last five fields of each line specify whether the particular waste product is scheduled to be picked up on the given date. A value of 0 means no pick up. A value of ANYTHING ELSE means the product will be picked up. Using the first pick up date entry in the template above, 1,0,1,0,0 means that GreenBin and Recycling will be picked up on that date, while Garbage, YardWaste, and ChristmasTree will not be picked up.

3. Save the file as schedule_custom.csv in the MMM-MyWasteCollection directory.
4. Restart Magic Mirror
