Garbage and Recycling Services Delayed for July 4th Holiday Pedestrian and Bike Projects Begin Next Week

Spokane's garbage, recycling, and food & yard waste services will be delayed one day to accommodate the July 4th holiday, shifting pickups to Saturday, July 5th. Residents must have their carts out by 6 AM for collection. In addition to the service change, two pedestrian and bike improvement projects are scheduled to begin next week in north Spokane. These projects aim to enhance safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists, aligning with the city's goals of promoting sustainable transportation. The improvements are part of a broader initiative to invest in infrastructure that supports non-motorized transit.

Local officials highlight the importance of these upgrades in fostering a community that prioritizes walking and biking. Citizens are encouraged to remain engaged and informed about ongoing city projects. The city’s commitment to bettering its infrastructure reflects a proactive approach to urban development.
