Interesting what works for some, we just use two recurring calendar events for a 3-bin system the night before. Where the pickups differ like end of year holidays, we revert to no tech and just glance into the street and see what everyone else is doing.
I always smile when I see Anglophones and their outdated concepts. You could just have a communal or public bin and then never have to worry about putting the bin out. But no, let’s instead make a complicated schedule and penalize people who don’t keep to that schedule. And have everyone sacrifice a square meter of their yard to stinky bins.
You need to put those communal bins somewhere. And they’re very unpopular to be next to. See the discussion about bin hubs [0] in Edinburgh. Bear in mind that the city centre already had communal bins, this is just a slight shift to how they were set up.
I’m suppose this only needs to show two types of collection days? (Black and green).
Things are more complicated in other states: Recycling (Blue?) Organics (Green?) General (Black?) Bulk (Red?) Yard Waste (Brown?)
And you’ll need to show multiple items for single days.
I’m starting to think a calendar isn’t the best reference tool for my own situation. I don’t need to see the entire month. Maybe something along the line of just the listings of the pickup days for that week (Fridays in my part of town).

Garbage. Recycling. Organic. Bulk. Yard.
So nice, until it's the third week of January and I remember that I need to manually import a new year :P
Complete with notifications when you want them and automatic updates when pickup are changed due to holidays/disruptions

Here the rate per kg is different depending on which bin it is, so you're "rewarded" for sorting properly.
