Look-up tool for residential garbage pick-up, street sweeping

[mthong]

The Dataset: The City of San Jose has published comprehensive "Hauler Data" on the open data portal: http://data.sanjoseca.gov/dataviews/225973/san-jose-hauler-data/

The dataset lists the garbage pick-up day, street sweeping day, and other related garbage/recycling information for every residential address in San Jose.

The Challenge: Create a map, app or other tool that uses this dataset to help residents find useful information on these topics.

Here is the Collection Day lookup tool that the City of San Jose provides on the official City website using this dataset: http://www.sanjoseca.gov/index.aspx?nid=3079

Can you come up with other easier to use, visually interesting or fun ways to access or display this data?

Here are some ideas:

• An app or web page that answers the simple question: Is there street sweeping on my street today?
• A app or web page that answers the question: When do I need to take out the garbage?
• An app or web page that answers the question: When is my next neighborhood cleanup?
• An app or web page that looks up the number of your hauler service and places a call.
