Spokane's garbage and curbside recycling pickup will be delayed by one day starting Wednesday, December 18, 2024, due to the Christmas holiday. Residents should note that Friday's collection will take place on Saturday, ensuring all households receive their waste services despite the holiday disruption. To facilitate this change, residents are advised to have their carts out by 6 AM on their collection days. This announcement is part of the city's efforts to maintain efficient waste management during holiday periods. In addition to changes in garbage pickup, the city has indicated there will be other closures during the holiday season, which residents can learn more about on the city's official website.

Staying informed about these updates is crucial for residents to plan their waste disposal and navigate city services effectively.
