Consolidated waste pickup calendar

This dataset was initiated in 2019 to introduce one of the first apps for Amazon Alexa in Luxembourg. This project aimed to release a real use-case of local services on a voice assistant platform, and we developed a waste pickup calendar. The first challenge was accessing the raw data; at that time, the only choice was to scrap it from official websites. So we developed a nodejs modular scraping tool that connects to multiple sources, which are to this day: 1. HTML from sidec.lu using cheerio library 2. json from valorlux.lu 3. ICS files from vdl.lu using node-ical library When scraping is complete, the tool unifies all results into a single format, Normalises pickup types, matches against the CACLR address database and writes 1 json file per postal code in a simple format: “’ [ { ‘uid’ means: ‘5e8a5f0732fc6’, “event_date”: ‘1608073200000’, “city”: ‘Luxembourg’, ‘rental’ means: “Eich Coast”, “streetNumbers”: “1-25, 2-24”, ‘postal code’: 1450, “Summary”: “BULKY” }, { ‘uid’ means: ‘5e8a5f074f2c3’, “event_date”: ‘1608505200000’, “city”: ‘Luxembourg’, ‘rental’ means: “Eich Coast”, “streetNumbers”: “1-25, 2-24”, ‘postal code’: 1450, “Summary”: “PAPER” } ] “’ Note: The dataset does not cover the entire country (yet). Several other websites/sources should be crawled and consolidated to have a complete picture.
