Post Falls City Offices Closed Monday for Presidents' Day; Trash Pickup Unchanged

Post Falls City Hall and City business offices were closed Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, in observance of Presidents’ Day, the City of Post Falls announced. The closure affected the municipal offices at 408 Spokane Street but did not change residential garbage collection plans for the holiday.

City public information material reminded residents that "Police, fire and rescue services for life‑threatening or in‑progress emergencies may be reached by calling 911." The Police Department was listed as available for walk‑in emergencies on the holiday, and water problems could be reported to 208-773-3517 for immediate attention.

On refuse schedules the city was explicit: "The holiday will not impact the garbage pick‑up schedule. Residents are advised to place their garbage toters outside for collection on their usual day." That guidance distinguishes Presidents’ Day 2026 from other holidays; the city’s Memorial Day 2025 notice stated, "There will be no trash pickup on Memorial Day. Following the holiday, trash pickup will fall one day late and return to normal pickup schedule on the following Monday," demonstrating that pickup rules can vary by holiday.

For media or service follow-up, the materials list Stephanie Herman, Public Information Specialist, at sherman@postfalls.gov or 208-457-3341, and Jon Manley, Planning Manager, at jmanley@postfalls.gov or 208-773-8708. The city’s mailing address is shown as City of Post Falls, 408 Spokane Street, Post Falls, ID 83854.

The city’s holiday notice did not provide specific Police Department walk‑in hours or detail on other counters such as Building/Planning or Utilities customer service beyond the water emergency line; those seeking clarification on departmental hours or contractor trash operations should contact the listed city staff. For life‑threatening emergencies residents and visitors should continue to call 911. - end -
