~ Residents of Spokane have until Friday, December 1st to finish their fall yard cleanup before the City of Spokane suspends the collection service for the winter. The optional Clean Green curbside yard and food waste collection service runs from March through November.
Clint Harris, Street Department Director, encourages residents to get as many leaves out of their yards as quickly as possible heading into winter in order to keep the right-of-way and storm drains clear. Additionally, Harris suggests that residents plan ahead when preparing Thanksgiving meals in order to reduce food waste and suggests guests bring their own "to-go" containers to take leftovers home.
In order to help with this process, Harris recommends that residents who subscribe to the optional clean green cart service stuff their green carts with as many leaves and yard waste as possible between now and Dec. 1st. He also reminds them not to push leaves from the yard into the street and make sure there is a clear path for stormwater and snow melt-off to reach the drains in neighborhood streets. The 90-gallon green yard waste cart can be filled with all types of yard waste—leaves, pine needles, grass, pumpkins, pinecones, weeds, vines, thatch, plant trimmings, small amounts of sod, and branches. Plastic bags do not belong in food & yard waste green carts; paper leaf bags are acceptable in the green cart or left next to it. There is a small fee for disposing of extra paper bags full of leaves; if plastic bags with leaves are left out there is a larger disposal fee per bag and they go into the trash.

Green cart customers can also dispose of food scraps and food-soiled paper in their carts such as meat, poultry, fish, beans, dairy products, fruit vegetables breads grains pasta eggshells nutshells coffee grounds tea bags leftovers greasy pizza boxes coffee filters paper towels paper napkins uncoated paper plates cups paper egg and berry cartons paper grocery bags with food scraps.
The cost of the optional collection service will be $20.72 a month in 2024 with no charge when it is suspended for winter; customers can add the service by calling 311 inside City boundaries or (509-755-2489). Even after curbside collection is suspended for winter recyclers and composters can still recycle yard and food waste at the City's Waste to Energy (WTE) facility which is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m daily; there is a minimum charge of $6.47 for clean green material plus a self-haul fee of $2.12 per load.
Residents are encouraged by Clint Harris to take advantage of this opportunity before December 1st so that they can properly dispose of their fall yard cleanup materials before winter sets in while also reducing food waste during Thanksgiving feasts by planning ahead appropriately sized meals and suggesting guests bring "to-go" containers for leftovers
