{% set midnight = today_at() %}
{% set event = state_attr('calendar.recycling', 'start_time') | as_datetime | as_local %}
{% set delta = event - midnight %}
{% if delta.days == 0 %}
  Today
{% elif delta.days == 1 %}
  Tomorrow
{% elif delta.days == 2 %}
  Day After Tomorrow
{% else %}
  In {{ delta.days }} Days
{% endif %}

If you’re interested, you can use a dictionary to reduce the template.

{% set delta = state_attr('calendar.recycling', 'start_time') | as_datetime | as_local - today_at() %}
{{ {0: 'Today', 1: 'Tomorrow', 2: 'Day After Tomorrow'}.get(delta.days, 'In ' ~ delta.days ~  ' Days') }}

And if less techy… there are cards in HACS that countdown too

And pre-baked garbage oriented:
