Ready for spring yard cleanup? The City of Spokane will make that work a little easier as it resumes curbside yard waste pickup on Monday, March 1. The optional City service runs from March through November. The 96-gallon green yard waste cart can be filled with all manner of yard waste--grass, leaves, pine needles, pine cones, weeds, vines, thatch, plant trimmings, small amounts of sod, and branches. Customers put the carts out the same day they haul their garbage and curbside recycling bin to the curb. The material is composted. The cost of the service is $13.38 a month, with no charge when the service is suspended for winter. City of Spokane Solid Waste Management customers can add the service by calling the yard waste hotline at 625-7965 or enrolling on-line at www.spokanecitysolidwaste.org. |
