MyMüll.de is a web service / app provider which is used by some bavarian municipalities to digitally announce upcoming dates for garbage disposal. Although this is basically a good idea, MyMüll.de does not provide any convenience functionality to import these dates in a standard calendar to use your favourite calendar app.

Instead, users are forced to install the buggy and heavy battery draining MyMüll.de smartphone app. On some android devices (e.g. Huawei), even the notifications of the app do not work reliable by default (only after changing some settings related to app start policies)

So this tool aims to get rid of the app by parsing data from MyMüll.de web service and synchronize the events with a conventional CalDAV server.
