ReCollect Waste

The recollect_waste integration allows you to track the next scheduled waste pickup and what type of waste from Recollect. To use this sensor your city’s waste company must be Recollect and you will need to find your place_id and service_id.

In Chrome open developer tools and go to the network tab.
Go to your city’s Recollect collection calendar.
Search for and select your address in the UI.
Watch for a request that looks like
