Trash lookup service

[mheadd]

App or project title and description

A service to lookup the designated trash pick up day for a property based on address.

What problem does your app or project solve?

It can be difficult sometimes to know the proper day to bring trash receptacles out for pickup, particularly after a holiday. When trash is brought to the curb too early or too late for scheduled pick up, it can result in unsightly litter in a neighborhood.

Who are the users of your app or project?

This app could be used by citizens - to find out when they should bring their trash receptacles out for scheduled pick up - or by city staff, like service request agent .

Details about the dataset you want to use
