Ramassio tells residents which container to put out, and when.

It is made for town halls and local councils: one screen to describe the collections, one form to post a last-minute change, and every display updates itself — the website, the residents’ phone calendars and the e-mail reminders.

Any kind of waste

Wheelie bins of any colour (general waste, packaging, food waste…), glass, paper, garden waste, bulky items, textiles, hazardous waste days…
Kerbside collection (put the container out), drop-off on a date (mobile collection point), on appointment only, or a permanent site with opening hours such as a recycling centre (address, link to the opening hours, directions, “check before you go” notice).
Add as many collection types as you need. Ready-made examples can be switched on in one click.
Containers are drawn as scalable vector pictures in the colour you choose, so they stay sharp at any size. You can use your own photos instead.

Flexible schedules

Every week, even weeks, odd weeks (ISO week number), every N weeks, once a month (e.g. the 2nd Tuesday), or only on listed dates.
One or several days per week.
Seasons (e.g. garden waste from April to November).
Extra one-off dates.
Areas for large towns (districts, arrondissements, villages): each collection type can have other days, other weeks or no collection in some areas, and date changes can concern one area only.
Residents find their area by typing their postcode or street; their choice is remembered on their phone or computer.
“Put it out the evening before” or “the same morning”, collected in the morning, afternoon or evening.

Last-minute changes

Move, cancel or add a collection in a few clicks (public holiday, snow, strike…), with a reason shown to residents.
Built-in French public holidays: the plugin lists the collections falling on a holiday and applies “day before / day after / cancel” in one click. Other countries can be added with a filter.
Every change is shown at once on the website, in the subscribed calendars and in the reminders.

Everywhere residents look

[ramassio_page] — the complete page in one block: changes, next collections, calendar, subscription buttons and e-mail form. It looks the same with every theme. [ramassio_page show="calendar"] shows only the calendar.
[ramassio_next] — next collection of each type: date, “in 2 days”, and what to do (“Put it out on Wednesday evening — collected the next day in the morning”).
[ramassio_calendar] — modern monthly calendar with previous / next month buttons, even and odd weeks, public holidays and changed dates.
[ramassio_changes] — upcoming changes, ideal for the home page.
[ramassio_ical] — subscribe from an iPhone, Android, Google or Outlook calendar. The feed updates itself: a moved collection moves in the residents’ calendars too.
[ramassio_send_links] — residents choose iPhone, Android or computer and receive by e-mail the calendar subscription link and the home-screen link, with step-by-step instructions for their device.
[ramassio_app_link] — a mobile page residents add to their home screen, like an app, with a proper icon: a drawn wheelie bin in your colour, the town logo, or your own image.
[ramassio_subscribe] — e-mail reminder the day before (double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe), with the town logo.
Links to share — an <iframe> code to embed the calendar on another website (community of communes, school, association), a direct link and the calendar feed address.
A classic widget, and a public JSON API for phone widgets (an iPhone Scriptable widget is included in the extras folder).

Made for the people who run it

A dashboard shows the next collection, the coming collections, the upcoming changes, the holidays to check and the number of subscribers.
Backup and restore all the data as one JSON file, on the same or another site.
Page caches (LiteSpeed Cache and LiteSpeed server cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Autoptimize, Cloudflare plugin) are emptied automatically when the schedule changes.

Clean and lightweight

All data lives in the plugin’s own database tables. Uninstalling removes everything.
No account, no external service, no tracking, no ads.
Translation ready (text domain ramassio).

External services

Ramassio does not send any data to an external service by itself: no API call, no tracking, no remote file.

It only displays links that residents may choose to open:

Google Calendar — the “Add to Google Calendar” button opens calendar.google.com with the address of your own calendar feed, so the resident can subscribe to it. Nothing is sent until the resident clicks; Google then receives the feed address. Google Terms of Service, Google Privacy Policy.
Google Maps — for a recycling centre with an address, the “Directions” button opens google.com/maps with that address. Nothing is sent until the resident clicks. Google Terms of Service, Google Privacy Policy.
