COQUITLAM, B.C., Jan. 16, 2023 – Coquitlam residents can go green and access important collection day information from the Coquitlam Curbside Collection mobile app.
Opt-out of a Paper Collection Calendar
Coquitlam prints and mails a paper copy of the curbside collection calendar every June. This year, we’re exploring more environmentally friendly options to deliver this important information to residents. All of the essential collection information included in the printed calendar is also available on demand in the free Coquitlam Curbside Collection app.
Residents who receive collection services and who do not wish to receive a printed curbside collection calendar for 2023/24 have the option to complete an opt-out form from now until April 15, 2023.
