Spokane Kootenai Waste Directory breaking records

So far this year, over 43,800 people have used the Spokane Kootenai Waste Directory. At this rate, up to one-third of households in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Corridor will use the directory in 2020. Said Forum Executive Director Andy Dunau, "One stewardship choice at a time, we've unleashed the power of thousands to take care of our water, land and air by putting waste in the right place."

The Forum thanks our partners for making the directory a great community success.
