Spokane runs its own municipal solid waste system instead of relying purely on a private hauler contract, and its Waste to Energy Facility on Geiger Boulevard has burned the city's trash for power since 1991 rather than sending it to a landfill. The city's blue single-stream cart accepts glass bottles and jars alongside the usual paper, metal, and plastic, which puts Spokane ahead of many curbside programs that dropped glass years ago. Residents also get an optional green cart for food scraps and yard debris, collected weekly in the growing season and monthly in winter.
Yes. Spokane Municipal Code 13.02.0406 lists glass bottles and jars, brown, green, and clear, as accepted materials in the blue single-stream recycling cart. They need to be rinsed, free of food residue, with lids removed, and not broken or cracked. This is notable because plenty of other cities dropped glass from curbside programs; Spokane still takes it at the curb.
Plastic bags, shredded paper, and anything greasy or food-contaminated are not accepted, and contaminated loads get billed and hauled as garbage instead. Materials need to be loose, clean, and dry, never bagged or boxed inside the cart. Only plastics coded 1 through 7 are allowed, and no automotive containers or hazardous-material plastics go in with recycling.
It's the city's trash-burning power plant at 2900 S. Geiger Blvd., in operation since late 1991, handling about 800 tons of municipal solid waste a day. It generates roughly 22 megawatts of electricity, enough for about 13,000 homes, while cutting the volume of that waste by 90 percent. The site also has a free recycling and disposal drop-off area open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, including household hazardous waste.
Household hazardous waste is accepted free from residential customers at the City's Waste to Energy Facility (daily, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and at Spokane County's North County and Valley transfer stations (Saturdays and Sundays, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Containers must be leak-proof, labeled, and no larger than 5 gallons. Electronics fall under Washington's free E-Cycle Washington program, and the city also lists local drop points like Earthworks Recycling and Inland ReTech for computers, TVs, and cell phones.
No, Washington State has no bottle or can deposit law, so cans and bottles go straight into the blue cart or a scrap buyer rather than back to a store for a refund. Small amounts of ferrous metal that fit in the recycling cart are accepted curbside per city code, while larger scrap and appliances need to go to a transfer station or a scrap metal buyer, and appliances carry a regular garbage charge for special handling.
