The Garbage Goat is a playful metal sculpture located in Spokane's Riverfront Park, designed to look like a goat munching on a can. Created by local artist Sister Paula Turnbull, this whimsical piece has become a beloved symbol of the city's charm and environmental consciousness. Visitors often delight in placing litter into its mouth, where it disappears into a hidden bin. The goat's shiny surface and humorous concept make it a favorite photo stop and a testament to Spokane's creative spirit.
