What changed recently?
Every update to this page, newest first.
- Record created from Corpus Christi's zone layers: 10 recy/gar zones + 5 day areas + 13 brush areas.
- QA: population corrected to Census Vintage 2023 estimate (Corpus Christi city: 316,595; prior estimate 320000).
- QA: city page captured - 7:00 AM set-out + district brush model.
- Holiday QA round 2 INCONCLUSIVE: solid-waste-services + garbage-schedules-and-maps pages state only 'unless there is a city holiday' (no holiday list, no make-up rule); specifics live in the 2026 Service Guide PDF (application/pdf not fetchable). Thursday->Saturday make-up claim remains unverified.
- Holiday QA round 3 (2026-09-23): INCONCLUSIVE - official 2026 Solid Waste Service Guide PDF (corpuschristitx.gov/media/0ezhek1l/sws-guide-english-2026-sm.pdf) machine-read: no holiday text; zone calendar PDFs carry the legend 'City Holiday: Alternate trash pick-up day' - confirming an alternate/make-up-day mechanism - but no specific dates or the Thursday->Saturday rule are extractable.
- Holiday QA R4 (2026-09-23): INCONCLUSIVE - schedules page re-fetched (only 'unless there is a city holiday'); 2026 tri-fold pamphlet PDF is image-only (no text layer); Zone 1 calendar PDF machine-read: holiday markings are graphical (legend 'City Holiday: Alternate trash pick-up day' confirmed) but specific holiday dates/shifts not extractable. Thursday->Saturday make-up claim still.
- Holiday QA R6 (2026-09-24) PARTIAL/INCONCLUSIVE: garbage-schedules-and-maps page states trash is picked up weekly and recycling every other week 'unless there is a city holiday'; official 2026 Zone calendar PDF (Zone 1, machine-read) legend reads 'City Holiday: Alternate trash pick-up day' - confirms an alternate-day pickup rule on city holidays, but the affected dates are graphical shading, not machine-readable text; 2026 Solid Waste Service Guide PDF (English, machine-read) contains ZERO holiday mentions. Exact holiday list + shift direction unverifiable without reading the shaded calendars visually.
- ENRICHED: bulky economics/penalties + per-zone calendar PDF URLs + RWeek 1/2 rotation confirmed. Frontier Waste's 251 'crp' ReCollect zones identified as hauler-side areas, NOT the municipal map.
