Spokane's garbage, recycling, and yard waste services will be delayed by one day this week due to the Labor Day holiday. Residents should ensure their carts are out by 6 AM on collection days to avoid missed pickups. In conjunction with this service update, the Spokane Fire Department is hosting its 7th Annual Kids Jr Firefighter Academy, where children and families can engage in firefighting activities and learn essential safety information. This free event aims to foster community engagement and promote fire safety awareness among young residents. Additionally, the city announced the South Hill Bluff Fuels Reduction Project, with scheduled work set for fall 2025.

This project aims to enhance fire safety and reduce fuels in the area. Such initiatives reflect the city's commitment to public safety and community education. More information regarding city services and closures can be accessed via the Spokane city website.
