~ Spokane, WA - As the mild winter comes to an end, residents are taking advantage of the warmer weather to clean up their yards. And now, they have even more reason to do so as the City of Spokane has announced the resumption of curbside yard and food waste pick up on Monday, Feb. 26.

According to Kirstin Davis, Communications Manager for the city, this optional service will run from March through November and will coincide with regular garbage pick up days. Residents are reminded to have their carts at the curb by 6 a.m. and ensure that the lids are completely closed.

The green 90-gallon yard waste cart can be filled with a variety of materials including grass, leaves, pine needles, pinecones, weeds, vines, thatch, plant trimmings and small branches no larger than three inches in diameter. In addition to yard waste, residents can also dispose of food scraps such as meat, poultry, fish, beans, dairy products, fruits and vegetables in their carts. Paper products like greasy pizza boxes, coffee filters and paper towels are also accepted as long as they are food-soiled.

All these materials will be composted at a local facility. The cost for this service is $20.72 per month but there is no charge when the service is suspended for winter. Customers of City of Spokane Solid Waste Collection can add this service by calling 3-1-1 or (509) 755-2489 for those outside the city.

For those who prefer to recycle their yard and food waste themselves, they can do so at the City's Waste to Energy facility which is open year-round from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

But why stop at just disposing of your waste when you can learn how to turn it into compost? The Master Composter/Recycler Program offers a six-week course that teaches residents how to reduce waste through home composting and recycling. This free program includes weekly in-person meetings and extended learning opportunities. The next course will begin on Wednesday, March 18 but space is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

So, be a Compost Hero and join the City of Spokane in their efforts to reduce waste and create a more sustainable environment.
