Spokane Residents to Experience Delayed Waste Pickup for Thanksgiving Holiday

Spokane, WALocal News

As Thanksgiving approaches, the City of Spokane is implementing a schedule change for garbage, curbside recycling, and yard waste collection. Effective Thursday, all regular pickups will be delayed by one day, meaning that collections typically scheduled for Friday will instead occur on Saturday. Residents are advised to place their carts out at the point of collection no later than 6 AM to ensure timely service. This adjustment is part of the city's initiative to manage waste efficiently during the holiday season. In addition to the collection changes, the city has provided further details on closures and services that may be affected during Thanksgiving.

This information can be found on the city’s official website, where residents can access a variety of resources related to city services. By staying proactive, Spokane residents can avoid any disruptions to their waste management services during the busy holiday period. The city emphasizes the importance of these adjustments in maintaining community cleanliness and convenience.
