Spokane Delays Waste Collection for July 4th Holiday and Announces Bike Improvements

Spokane will experience a one-day delay in garbage, recycling, and food waste services on July 4th, with pickups occurring on Saturday, July 5th. Residents are reminded to place their carts out by 6 AM for collection. In addition to service delays, the city is set to launch two pedestrian and bike improvement projects next week in north Spokane. These initiatives are designed to improve safety and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians, aligning with Spokane's efforts to promote sustainable transportation. The city has prioritized enhancing non-motorized transit routes to accommodate growing community interest in biking and walking.

Local officials emphasize the importance of staying informed about service changes during holiday periods. These projects and service adjustments reflect Spokane's ongoing commitment to urban development and public safety. Residents are encouraged to participate in community discussions about future improvements.
