The bin area in my neighbourhood was always filled with tons of bin bags, so I developed a serverless API to crawl the bin collection dates and generate results in iCalendar (a standard protocol for online calendar subscriptions). By using this I can throw my bin bags after they clear the public bins, and will not get my shoes dirty.
You can simply import the online calendar link into your Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Thunderbird...etc.
