Spokane: Final Day to Request a Disposal Pass Is Friday, May 8

~ Spokane residents have until Friday, May 8 to request a disposal pass through the City of Spokane. This announcement was made by Erin Hut, the Communications Director for the city, who can be reached at ehut@spokanecity.org.

The disposal pass program was launched on March 2 and residents were informed that passes would be available until program funding ran out. According to Amber Groe, the Community Program Coordinator for the Office of Neighborhood Services, there has been a high demand for these passes as they are a helpful tool in cleaning up neighborhoods. She also added that the passes are limited and tend to go quickly once they become available. Therefore, she encourages residents to sign up for one as soon as possible.

These disposal passes cover up to $30 in tipping fees and are meant to assist residents in removing extra waste. They can be used at the Waste to Energy Facility located at 2900 S. Geiger Blvd. This program is a collaboration between the Office of Neighborhood Services and Solid Waste Management Department.

Since its launch on March 2, a total of 178.48 tons of waste has been disposed of under this program. This amounts to over 1,798 disposal passes being requested by Spokane residents.

For those who miss out on obtaining a disposal pass this spring, there will be another opportunity in the fall starting August 4. However, funding for fall disposal passes is limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis through Spokane's 29 recognized neighborhood councils.

It is important to note that each neighborhood council will have their own way of distributing these passes (such as at meetings or events), so it is advised to contact your neighborhood council directly to find out how you can receive one.

In addition to this program, many neighborhoods are also planning summer and fall cleanups. Residents can get involved with their neighborhood council by visiting spokanecity.org/neighborhoods. This Neighborhood Clean-up Program aligns with the city's efforts to reduce property crime, enhance the beauty of Spokane, and promote community resiliency.
