Your enthusiastic participation in recycling, composting and diverting waste is making a difference in our community! Your positive actions keep waste out of landfill, conserve natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Water conservation is important to everyone. Conserving water not only benefits our natural ecosystems but also helps residents save money.

Coquitlam has many environmental events year round and offers many programs for the whole family to be part of.

The City of Coquitlam has agreed to address climate change by signing the Climate Action Charter in 2007, committing to become carbon neutral by 2012 and to reduce energy consumption and associated corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from City operations by 30% by 2015.

Environmental Stewardship is the act of taking responsibility for the well-being of the natural environment and making an effort to restore or protect that well-being.

While we live in an urban environment, wildlife, big and small, lives all around us, and with us. The City of Coquitlam has both a Pest Control Department and a Bear Aware program to help mitigate risks living with urban wildlife.
