- Record created from Sacramento's 4-layer solid waste route package (730 route areas).
- QA: population corrected to Census Vintage 2023 estimate (Sacramento city: 526,384; prior estimate 525000).
- Holiday QA R5 VERIFIED https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/city-government/holiday-schedule: 'Regular residential garbage, organic waste and recycling collection service will occur on holidays.' Collection does NOT suspend or slide for any holiday (shift_rule none for all); the same page lists City Hall office closures (Jan 1 New Year's Day, Jan 19 MLK Day, Feb 16 Presidents' Day, Mar 31 'Holiday', May 25 Memorial Day, Jun 19 Juneteenth, Jul 3 observed...), which do not affect collection. Department pages (garbage_collection, curbside_collection_guidelines) carry no additional holiday rule (checked via raw HTML).
