COQUITLAM, B.C., June 9, 2021 – Coquitlam’s streamlined 2021/2022 curbside collection calendar will hit local mailboxes this week.
The City’s brochure calendar contains the key collection details for July 2021 to June 2022 and works hand-in-hand with online tools on the Coquitlam’s website and Curbside Collection App.
The City has maintained its usual collection schedule throughout the pandemic, and has made no changes to the zone boundaries or collection days for the coming year.
The 2021/2022 calendar includes:
- Collection schedule for all collection zones;
- Details about large item pick-up (www.coquitlam.ca/lipu) and seasonal unlimited yard trimmings collection dates (www.coquitlam.ca/yardtrimmings);
- Information about online waste resources such as the Coquitlam Curbside Collection app and Waste Wizard (see below); and
- Calendar instructions, key contacts and related regulations.
