UK Council Bin Collection Data Parser - Outputting Bin Data as a JSON
Born from https://community.home-assistant.io/t/bin-waste-collection/55451
This is a list of Python3 Scripts which use Beautiful Soup 4 to pull Bin Collection data into a JSON where a council does not provide a restful API - Yes Yes Yes any script could break when a council changes their site - but until they provide a service for programmatic consumption then stript on-ward.
Please use responsibly - I take no responsibility for the use of these scripts, I created this to get better at Python and Beautiful Soup.
Please help raise an issue to creation for your council or contribute for your council via a pull request!
The dream would be to make each of these into one common lib
python collect_data.py <council_class_name> "<collection_url>"
Some councils make use of the UPRN (Unique property reference number) to identify your property. You can find yours here: https://www.findmyaddress.co.uk/search
python collect_data.py <council_class_name> "<collection_url>"
