COQUITLAM, B.C., Dec. 1, 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.
Collection Day Services During Severe Winter Weather
The City and its contractors aim to provide collection services in all weather conditions. However, winter weather, including snow and ice accumulations can impact service. If your carts are not collected by 7:30 p.m. on your collection day, please bring them back in. In some instances, collection may occur on a subsequent day or on your next regularly scheduled collection day – neighbourhood-specific notifications about rescheduled collections will be sent out through the Coquitlam Curbside Collection app. 68% of households that receive collection service from the City are already signed up for notifications.
