- Record created from Yonkers' 56-segment garbage-route layer (city-authored, modified 2026-02-04).
- Holiday QA R5 INCONCLUSIVE: yonkersny.gov Sanitation Division + Recycling-Refuse-Guide pages carry no holiday rules (nav/JS shell; grep-measured); the 2026 Recycling & Refuse Guide PDFs (DocumentCenter 16399/16400) are scanned image PDFs - pdftotext yields zero text, so holiday pages inside are not machine-readable; no yonkersny.gov holiday URLs in Wayback CDX. Yonkers posts holiday schedule changes as ad-hoc news/alerts. Manual read of the guide PDF needed.
- Holiday QA R6 (2026-09-24) INCONCLUSIVE: live /214/Refuse-Bulk-Removal machine-read - placement rules and Recycling Center hours but ZERO holiday text; old sanitation/refuse-disposal-division URLs now 404 (site restructure). R5 finding stands: the 2026 Recycling-Refuse Guide PDFs (DocumentCenter 16399/16400) are scanned images with no extractable text. Holiday changes appear to be posted as ad-hoc alerts/news.
