# HCC Rubbish Collection Binding
A Hamilton City Council (NZ) "Fight the Landfill" binding. This binding will keep track of your rubbish collection days and uses the Fight the Landfill (opens new window) website API to fetch the upcoming collection dates.
# Supported Things
A single supported thing called collection.
# Thing Configuration
The thing supports one setting labelled address which is your street number and name as it appears on Google.
For Example:
1 Victoria Street
Note: The above address example is not valid as it is a business address.
If the address is not valid or rubbish collection service does not apply (for example, a business address) then a CONFIGURATION_ERROR will occur.
