Changes to bin types on council webpage not reflected in HA #1889
Description
Name of Council
Midlothian Council
Issue Information
Midlothian Council now reports on additional bin types and these are collected on different days. Previously Midlothian reported 4 bin types, Recycling, Grey, Brown and Food. The Recycling category included both Blue and Red bins (general recycling and glass respectively) but these were collected on the same day so the general Recycling category was sufficient. This has now changed with the introduction of a Green bin category, for paper and cardboard, and with changes to the bin collection schedule such that the different recycling categories are now collected on different days. The web page referenced in the configuration for the HACS integration now shows all of these categories independently but the current Midlothian Council template only has the preexisting generic Recycling category. The dates returned for the Grey, Brown and Food categories are correct, so the information is being scraped successfully from the page. For the recycling category the date shown at the moment is correct for the next glass waste collection, which happens to be the next scheduled amongst the glass, blue and green categories.
Is the fix for this as simple as adding the relevant categories to the Midlothian council template file? If it is then I am happy to make the relevant changes in the file but I am afraid that anything more than that is likely to be beyond my skillset.
