A custom component for Home Assistant that retrieves waste collection schedules from a wide range of service providers.

Waste collection schedules from service provider web sites are updated daily, derived from local ICS/iCal files, or generated from user-specified dates or regularly repeating date patterns. The Home Assistant built-in Calendar is automatically populated with schedules, and there is a high degree of flexibility in how information can be format and displayed in entity cards or pop-ups. The framework can easily be extended to support additional waste collection service providers, or other services which provide schedules.

Waste collection schedules in the following formats and countries are supported. Click on the section heading to view details of individual service providers.

If your service provider is not listed, feel free to open a source request issue (please first check the Issues section if there already is an open issue for your service provider.).

Waste Collection Schedule can be installed via HACS, or by manually copying the waste_collection_schedule directory to Home Assistant's config/custom_components/ directory.

This integration can be configured through the Home Assistant UI. From the Devices & Services page click 'Add Integration' and search for 'Waste Collection Schedule'.

Alternatively, Waste Collection Schedule can be configured manually in the yaml configuration files. This is required for certain advanced options. For further details see the installation and configuration page, or the FAQ.

The following waste service providers return errors when running the test_source script:

• banyule_vic_gov_au: JSONDecodeError, caused by not supported Captcha wall
• awn_de: all tests return 0 entries

If you can fix any of these, please raise a Pull Request with the updates.

Problem: Home Assistant hangs during restart or configuration check. This occurs typically after Waste Collection Schedule has been added to the configuration.

Root Cause: Home Assistant tries to install the required Python packages and fails somehow. This is not an issue of Waste Collection Schedule.

Solution: Try to reinstall Waste Collection Schedule (if you are using HACS) or install the required Python packages manually. This list of required packages can be found in manifest.json.

The actual procedure depends on your Home Assistant installation type.

Example:

sudo docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash
pip list
pip install recurring_ical_events  # in case recurring_ical_events is missing
