Proper management of solid waste helps to protect public health, prevent pollution, and conserve resources. Locally, several entities are involved in different aspects of waste reporting and disposal, and this is largely dependent on location within Spokane County. Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) provides solid waste-related support and services to local businesses and organizations as well as individual community members. The scope of SRHD’s jurisdiction is outlined below.
SRHD permits and inspects solid waste facilities in Spokane County to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations (see Resources). For questions, please call 509.324.1560, extension 3.
SRHD responds to complaints in areas of Spokane County that are NOT within the boundaries of a municipality. These complaints include garbage, animal waste, medical waste, demolition and construction waste. SRHD’s Environmental Public Health staff work closely with the Washington State Department of Ecology and local code enforcement agencies to ensure that solid waste regulations are followed.
