How to get the source arguments

Visit the ACT City Service's Bin Collection Calendar page and look for your suburb. The suburb argument should be in all uppercase of what is found in the dropdown. Some suburbs like Charnwood and Dunlop have been split into multiple entries, to check if your suburb has been split go to the API: https://www.data.act.gov.au/resource/jzzy-44un.json?suburb=SUBURB and swap SUBURB for your suburb in uppercase, and check if more than one result is returned, if there is the split_suburb argument should be equal to split_suburb in your correct API result. For example Dunlop is split into north and south so the split_suburb argument would be equal to North or South.
