Query Christchurch City Council kerbside collection schedules (rubbish, recycling, organics). Use when the task involves Christchurch bin days, kerbside collection for a Christchurch address, or CCC three-bin schedules. Supports address search (name → RatingUnitID) or direct RatingUnitID lookup. No account required.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Christchurch Bin Schedule

## Goal

Query live Christchurch City Council household kerbside collection schedules through a deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output.

Christchurch uses a **three-bin system** under the national standardisation:
- **Red bin** — Rubbish (fortnightly)
- **Yellow bin** — Recycling (fortnightly)
- **Green bin** — Organics (weekly, where available)

All three bin types are typically collected on the **same day of the week**, though they rotate on different fortnightly schedules.

## Use this when

- A user asks when Christchurch bins go out
- A user wants the next rubbish, recycling, or organics collection date for a Christchurch address
- A workflow needs machine-readable CCC collection schedule data

## Do not use this for

- Councils outside Christchurch City / Banks Peninsula (try Auckland, Wellington, or other council skills)
- Inner-city bag collections (not supported by this endpoint)
- Banks Peninsula community collection points (not individual property-level)
- Commercial or private collection schedules
- Finding a RatingUnitID without an address — the user must provide either an address or a known RatingUnitID

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/christchurch-bin-schedule@sha256:c264a5540c5e4a2c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
