Garbage and Recycling Services on Schedule Flags Lowered for Fallen Soldiers

Spokane's garbage, recycling, and food waste services will maintain their regular schedule this week. Residents are reminded to place their carts at the curb by 6 a. m. on collection days. The city also acknowledges the recent Indigenous Peoples' holiday, which was celebrated on October 13, and provides a link to its holiday operations schedule.

In a solemn announcement, flags will be lowered until the close of business today in honor of four fallen soldiers from Washington, demonstrating the city's respect for military service. This act of remembrance is part of Spokane's broader commitment to community engagement and honoring local heroes. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on service schedules and community events through the city’s website. The city’s communication emphasizes the importance of participation and awareness among its citizens. Further information about these services can be found on the Spokane city website.
