Opt Out of a Paper Collection Calendar
The City continues to offer residents an environmentally friendly option to receive curbside collection information from the free Coquitlam Curbside Collection app. Residents can complete an opt-out form from now until Thursday, April 17, 2025 to stop receiving the printed calendar.

We acknowledge with gratitude and respect that the name Coquitlam was derived from the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (HUN-kuh-MEE-num) word kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (kwee-KWET-lum) meaning “Red Fish Up the River”. The City is honoured to be located on the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm traditional and ancestral lands, including those parts that were historically shared with the q̓ic̓əy̓ (kat-zee), and other Coast Salish Peoples.
