About Southwest Michigan Info: Sources and Methods
Last checked: Oct 27, 2026. Every fact links to its official source. Rules change, so check the source before you go.
How this site works
This is an independent, plain-language guide. We read each official page (city, village, township, county, Michigan DNR, or the venue itself) and write down only what it says, with a link back.
When we could not confirm something on an official page, we either leave it out or mark it Unverified, call to confirm.
Everything was last checked on Oct 27, 2026. Schedules change every year, so the official source always wins.
Gaps we know about
- No 2026 trash, bulk or leaf schedule found on official sites for Ross, Prairie Ronde, Schoolcraft and Charleston townships, Wakeshma Township, and the Village of Vicksburg.
- Kalamazoo County's parks pages could not be loaded during our check, so county park hours and fees are marked unverified.
