COQUITLAM, B.C., June 16, 2022 – Coquitlam residents can download the free Coquitlam Curbside Collection mobile app to receive collection day reminders and instant service disruption notifications if they receive collection service from the City.
For almost a decade, the City has partnered with ReCollect, a digital recycling and outreach tool, to provide residents with personalized collection schedules and reminders of when to put out Garbage and Green Carts. The tool also features a recycling database that residents can use to easily search how to recycle or dispose of specific items.
Coquitlam’s streamlined 2022/2023 curbside collection calendar will hit mailboxes this week. All of the essential collection information included in the printed calendar is also available on demand. Residents are encouraged to download the Coquitlam Curbside Collection app or sign up for reminders online to access detailed program information and to stay connected year-round.
