- Record created from a dead placeholder ArcGIS URL (services.arcgis.com/PLACEHOLDER8) that was never a real source; zone geometry had been saved earlier from the city consultant's layer. Recycling cadence unknown; day pattern asserted 'Mon-Thu one area per weekday'.
- CORRECTION: placeholder source replaced with the real FeatureService (services8.arcgis.com/IX3Ksbq0XGWYwFfK/Refuse_Service_Collection) + the city's 2026 Refuse Routing Map PDF + /252 page. Day pattern corrected: each area has a TWO-day week (black-can day + blue/green cans day); recycling is weekly on the paired day, NOT same-day-as-trash and NOT alternating weeks (the prior shared template sentence 'Recycling runs the same day as trash' was false for Lemoore). 2026 holiday slide schedule measured (10 entries incl. three no-effect Friday/Saturday holidays).
