Spokane Maintains Normal Waste Collection Schedule Flags Lowered for Fallen Soldiers

Spokane's garbage, recycling, and food waste services will operate normally this week, with residents reminded to set their carts out by 6 a. m. on collection days. In a related announcement, flags will be lowered until the close of business to honor four fallen soldiers from Washington, demonstrating the city's respect for military service. This act serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by local service members.

The city also published a news release detailing operations for the Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday, which occurred on October 13. Spokane's commitment to community engagement is evident through these observances. Residents are encouraged to participate and reflect on these important events. The recognition of fallen soldiers underscores the importance of supporting local military families. For more information, residents can visit the city’s official website.
