Bin collection

Bin collection

The next pickup day and what is collected, with the pickup after it. It reads a waste collection calendar, such as the one from Waste Collection Schedule or a Local calendar you fill in yourself, where each pickup is an all-day event named after what is collected.

The layout bin-collection comes from the designer's template library: + From template → Home → Bin collection, then Send to your AP.

The tag shows, for example, Next pickup, Tomorrow, Paper, Plastic and Then: Friday 07 Nov, Food waste. Pickups on the same day are put together.

It runs just after midnight, so "Tomorrow" becomes "Today" on the day. strftime('%A') gives English day names; for another language, use a list:

{%- set days = ['Mandag', 'Tirsdag', 'Onsdag', 'Torsdag', 'Fredag', 'Lørdag', 'Søndag'] -%}
... days[d.weekday()] ~ ' ' ~ d.day ~ '.' ...
