Description
Hi HN,I built ukbinday to provide a nicer way to find your bin collection days and actually remember when to put them out.It shows your upcoming collections and generates a calendar that updates automatically as the schedule comes out. Coverage is at about 85% of the UK so far and I'm working on getting that to 100%. There is also an API for the Home Automation community.This was built on top of two amazing open-source projects without which this would not exist: https://github.com/robbrad/UKBinCollectionData & https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule Thank you to all the contributors of those repositories!

Could you build this?
Yes The site wraps pre-existing open-source scrapers (`hacs_waste_collection_schedule` and `UKBinCollectionData`) to serve postcode lookups and generate iCal/webcal calendar feeds.
