~ As Memorial Day approaches, the City of Spokane has announced several closures and changes to city services. According to Communications Director Erin Hut, Spokane City Hall and other city facilities, including the Waste to Energy facility, will be closed on Monday, May 26 in observance of the holiday.

Residents are advised that garbage, recycling, and yard waste services will be delayed by one day all week, with Friday's services being pushed to Saturday. Those who miss their designated garbage day can report it online through the city's website.

In addition, on-street parking meters and kiosks will not require payment on Memorial Day. However, it is important to note that all parking rules, including time limits, still apply even when parking is free on holidays.
