        position: 'top_right',
        header: "My Garbage Calendar",
        disabled: false,
        config: {
                weeksToDisplay: 4,
                limitTo: 99,
                dateFormat: "dddd LL",

                dataSource: "csv",                          // csv (schedule_garbage.csv | ical (put URL in icalUrl)
                icalUrl: "PLACE_HERE_PUBLIC_ICAL_URL",      // only used if dataSource is "ical"
                debug: false,                               // Only set on true for debugging 
                binColors: {                                // Define custom Bin Colors and match with the Bin Names
                            "GreenBin" : "#00A651",
                            "PaperBin" : "#0059FF",
                            "GarbageBin" : "#787878",
                            "PMDBin" : "#FFFF00",
                            "OtherBin" : "#B87333"
                            },
                }
},

Here is the documentation of options for the modules configuration:

You can use this module by creating your own Garbage Schedule file with the name garbage_schedule.csv
An example file garbage_schedule.csv is added.

Create a CSV based on the following template:

WeekStarting,GreenBin,GarbageBin,PaperBin,PMDBin,OtherBin
03/07/18,1,0,1,0,0
03/14/18,1,1,1,0,0
03/21/18,1,0,1,0,1
03/28/18,1,1,1,1,0

Default there are 5 bins defined. If you need more garbage bins, simply add an extra column in the garbage_schedule.csv file, with the name of the extra bin. If you only need 3, then simply remove them. When the module is started, it reads the names and will try them to match to the binColors. As of v3.0.0 of the module you can add custom names in the CSV of rename current names. As long as you change your binColors in config.js with the correspending names, you will see the information with the correct collors.

Remark Any Bin name that is not or not correct matched with the name in binColors, will be shown in the color $\color{#ED2DB0}{\textsf{PURPLE}}$

Add lines for each garbage pickup date as needed. The date format needs to be specified as MM/DD/YY (e.g.: 05/28/18 for 28-May-2018) Colors can be defined in the config.js file:

• Legacy Values:
  • GreenBin (defaults to #00A651)
  • GarbageBin (defaults to #787878)
  • PaperBin (defaults to #0059ff)
  • PMDBin (defaults to #ffff00)
  • OtherBin (defaults to #F542CE)
• Any CSS color string (red, chocolate, cornflowerblue, etc..)
• Any HEX-Color (#FF0000, #8c8c8c, etc)
• Any rgb, rgba or hsl value if in double quotes ("rgb(128,65,98)", "rgba(134,56,32,0.5)", "hsl(0, 100%, 50%)", etc.)

The following is VERY important:

• The CSV file must be delimited using commas
• The date format must to be specified as MM/DD/YY (e.g.: 05/28/18 for 28-May-2018)
• The remaining fields of each line specify whether the particular waste product is scheduled to be picked up on the given date. A value of 0 means no pick up. A value of ANYTHING ELSE means the product will be picked up. Using the first pick up date entry in the template above, 1,0,1,0,0 means that green and blue will be picked up on that date, while the others will not be picked up.

Save the file as garbage_schedule.csv in the MMM-MyGarbage directory and restart Magic Mirror²
