Quite often in Milwaukee you will see your neighbors set out collection carts a day before or after the real collection date. This makes you question when the actual date is. In 2019 Milwaukee stopped distributing paper copies of the collection dates, so you are forced to look it up online or subscribe to updates via text or email.
This skill lets you get the collection date without having to pull it up in a browser, and without having to subscribe to anything.
