Remove entities from entityqueues programmaticaly

This is a code snippet that shows how to remove all the node entities from entityqueue - lists that have "expired" nodes via a daterange field (field_banner_daterange).

use Drupal\node\Entity\Node;
use Drupal\entityqueue\Entity\EntityQueue;
use Drupal\Core\Routing\RouteMatchInterface;
use Drupal\entityqueue\Entity\EntitySubqueue;
/**
 * Removes old banners from entityqueue lists.
 */
function banner_sync_remove_old_banners() {
  $entityTypeId = 'node';
  $now = time();
  // Get all the entity queues referencing the targets entity type.
  $queues = EntityQueue::loadMultipleByTargetType($entityTypeId);
  $queues = ['banners_desktop', 'banners_mobile'];
  foreach ($queues as $queue_id) {
    // Get all the subqueues which are referencing the above queues.
    $query = \Drupal::entityQuery('entity_subqueue')
      ->condition('queue', $queue_id);
    $result = $query->execute();
    $subqueues = EntitySubqueue::loadMultiple($result);

    // Check for expired banner entity in a subqueue.
    foreach ($subqueues as $subqueue) {
      $items = $subqueue->get('items')->getValue();
      foreach ($items as $key => $item_data) {
        $entity = Node::load($item_data['target_id']);
        $endDate = $entity->get('field_banner_daterange')->end_value;
        $endDateTimestamp = strtotime($endDate);
        if ($endDateTimestamp <= $now) {
          unset($items[$key]);
          \Drupal::logger('banner_sync')->notice(
            'Removed Banner: %title from banner list: %banner_list.',
            [
              '%title' => $entity->label(),
              '%banner_list' => $queue_id
            ]
          );
          $subqueue->set('items', $items);
          $subqueue->save();
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You can add this as a cron job like this.

/**
 * Implements hook_cron().
 */
function banner_sync_cron() {
  banner_sync_remove_old_banners();
}
