The final day to request a disposal pass through the City of Spokane will be on Friday, May 8.
Residents were notified when the program launched on March 2 that passes would be available until program funding was expended.
“We’re thrilled that so many Spokane residents utilize the disposal pass program to assist in cleaning up their neighborhoods,” said Office of Neighborhood Services Community Program Coordinator Amber Groe. “The passes are very popular and go fast once they are available. We always encourage residents to sign up for one as soon as possible.”
The passes, which cover up to $30 in tipping fees, are designed to help residents remove extra waste by distributing vouchers to the Waste to Energy Facility at 2900 S. Geiger Blvd. The program is a partnership between the Office of Neighborhood Services and Solid Waste Management Department.
A total of 178.48 tons of waste has been disposed of under the program this spring. More than 1,798 disposal passes have been requested since March 2.
Disposal passes will be available again in the fall, beginning August 4 directly from Spokane’s 29 recognized neighborhood councils. Fall disposal pass funding is limited and passes will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
It is important to note that each neighborhood council will be distributing their disposal passes differently (at meetings, events, etc.) so contact your neighborhood council to find out how to receive one.
Many neighborhoods are planning summer and fall cleanups. Residents can get involved in their neighborhood council at spokanecity.org/neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Clean-up Program supports the broader City of Spokane's actions to reduce property crime, beautify Spokane, and promote community resiliency.
