collection card / round 2 · free workflow
Put Every Collection Round on One Dated Card — Free
Paste the dates for each round and the card orders them with the gaps measured, so the fortnight where nothing is collected is visible before the bin is full.
What this replaces
Council calendars show one round at a time, which hides the fortnight where two rounds coincide and the one where nothing comes. This interleaves them with the gaps measured, so the pinch is visible in advance.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One collection per line with a date and which round it is.
Let the card order them
Each round is placed with the days since the previous collection.
Find the longest gap
That is the fortnight to plan around, or to book a tip run.
Confirm against the council calendar
Rounds shift for public holidays; this only uses what you typed.
Try it on the collection card / round 2
The board below runs in your browser. It opens with a worked sample so the result is visible before you paste anything; switch scenarios, edit the text, or reset to the sample.

first-load · sample values are illustrative, not verified facts
Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally.
What breaks, and what to do
Dates without years
A yearless date is read in the current year; write it out.
Holiday shifts not pasted
The card cannot know; check the council's published calendar.
One line per round rather than per date
The card needs each date on its own line to order them.
