It’s time to clean up those beautifully colored fall leaves! The City of Spokane will begin its regularly scheduled leaf pickup Monday, Nov. 16.
Next week, cars parked on streets scheduled for leaf removal will need to be moved off those streets during the hours of 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Beginning Sunday, Nov. 22, crews will be working seven days a week. Cars parked on the street will need to be moved during the hours of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
In the event of snow, leaf pickup will stop and then continue when weather allows.
Being aware of the leaf pickup schedule is key to a successful pickup experience. Knowing when crews are in your area and removing vehicles from the streets ensures your neighborhood is cleared of as many leaves as possible.
Pickup times for various locations and neighborhoods can be found on SpokaneCity.org’s Leaf Pickup page. In addition, people can call the Leaf Hotline (509.625.7737) for information on the next day’s work areas.
