About This Event

Spring is blooming in downtown Spokane, and we’re calling on the community to join us from April 29 to May 3 to brighten our city center.

Throughout the week, various volunteer opportunities await, both downtown and nearby. Join as a team or individually to prep downtown for Spring and the upcoming 50th anniversary celebrations of Expo 74.

Register through Volunteer Spokane at www.spokanecity.galaxydigital.com/need/.

Businesses, pledge to reduce waste, litter, and energy use. During Spring Clean Week, implement one or more of these suggestions to make a big impact, step by step:

  • Establish designated smoking areas with proper disposal solutions.
  • Promote reusable bags or limit bag usage to bulky items.
  • Beautify sidewalks with flower planting and maintenance.
  • Secure trash receptacles to prevent rummaging.
  • Install motion sensor lights in alleys for safety and energy efficiency.

Sustainable Effort:

Became an Low Waste Impact Ambassador! In honor of the Expo 74 50th Anniversary Celebration, Spokane Zero Waste has developed a program to reduce waste, both upstream and downstream. Waste Ambassadors will receive training and help event vendors and promotors properly dispose of waste. Learn more
