Steps

  1. Confirm the target city publishes a GeoReport v2 endpoint and its jurisdiction_id (usually the city's root domain) from the Open311 Servers registry.
  2. GET /services.json to list available service_code values and find the waste, recycling, or bulky-item pickup service.
  3. GET /services/{service_code}.json to see the required attributes (address, container type, etc.) for that service.
  4. POST /requests.json with service_code, address or lat/long, and any required attributes to file the request, noting the returned service_request_id or token.
  5. GET /requests/{service_request_id}.json to poll status until it reports closed.
