Spokane provides a comprehensive solid waste collection and disposal system that stresses reduce, reuse, + recycle. Spokane County residents produce between 800 to 1,300 tons of solid waste each day, and divert only 45% of their waste through recycling or composting. In addition, recycling cart contamination has increased from 5 to 13% since 2012. Reducing waste generation is a big priority of the Regional Solid Waste System to keep costs down and keep solid waste management, well, manageable.
