The aim of this project was to remind me which days and which bins do I need to take out on the respective bin collection dates. I'm aware that there is an app for this, I thought there wasn't a need for an app itself as my need was just a reminder and I could achieve the same using the in-build calender app on the phone. To achieve this I scrape the data of all the data required such as the dates, color of the bin and create a csv file that I can import onto my google calendar.
- Check city council website (Sheffield) to see if you can get the data from website. You need to input the postcode and then select the address (Need to test this)
