I think this is version 3! Anyway, we’ve just done some work to our bin calendar search following some feedback on the service (never let it be said that we don’t listen to you, our users!) in which people commented it would be better to be able to see green, black and brown bin information on the same calendar. This initially looked like it may be a little bit tricky because there is no recurring pattern to help us match one green round to a similar black and brown round. We did a bit more research however, and now have a solution – here comes the techy bit…
By breaking down the Google Calendar URL into componenets identifying each individual calendar, we can actually reconstruct a new URL within the form to display both sets of calendars on one – simples! This should be the final version of this form but, as always, let us know if you think we can improve it further!
You can find the bin calendar search here…
