Auckland Waste Collection Error about hacs_waste_collection_schedule

I added this source and just noticed this problem. Must admit I'm a bit stumped 🤔, ssl certs look fine in chrome. @mampfes any ideas what might be up here?

yeah it was working, I only noticed as I am now adding a tablet to the wall and wanted to actually use it in anger LOL, always the way :)

I think there is no matching local root certificate to verify the certificate used by www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz.
I did some experiments with certifi (including update to 2021.10.8), but had no success.
But I found a workaround: add verify=False to requests.get:

        r = requests.get(
            "https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rubbish-recycling/rubbish-recycling-collections/Pages/collection-day-detail.aspx",
            params=params,
            verify=False
        )

I hope this is a temporary issue, therefore I wouldn't release a new version with this workaround immediately.
