        y: 384493
        id: 919

How to find your x, y, and id values

The simplest way to find the x, y, and id values for your property is to search for your bin collection schedule on https://www.west-lindsey.gov.uk/bins-waste-recycling/find-your-bin-collection-day with the browser's Developer Tools open and the Network tab visible.

As you interact with the website, you'll see the Network tab being populated with various calls being made to the backend. Once your collection schedule is being displayed, scroll down and look at the last few transactions.

If you click on the lines, a panel should appear showing further details. Focus on the Payload tab, and for one of the transactions you should see something like this:

script: \Cluster\Cluster.AuroraScript$
taskId: bins
format: js
updateOnly: true
query: x=482566;y=390375;id=16636

The query line contains the numbers to use for the x, y and id args.
