Port Coquitlam residents looking to de-clutter their garages or basements are invited to register for the city-wide garage sale, which will take place as part of the Earth Week festivities next month.
Participants who send in their completed forms will have their address included in a city-wide promotion effort that will begin in the week leading up to the April 21 sale.
"This is an opportunity to divert stuff away from the dump," PoCo Mayor Greg Moore said in a press release. "As an environmental leader, we're continuing to encourage our residents to watch their waste-line and reuse whatever they can."
To participate, Port Coquitlam residents need to plan a garage sale at their home on April 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those who wish to register can go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/garagesale or pick up the forms at city hall (2580 Shaughnessy St.) or the city operations centre (1737 Broadway St.).
The city will not be picking up any unsold items and are encouraging people to donate leftovers to charity, including:
Salvation Army Thrift Store (2275 Elgin Ave., Port Coquitlam);
Crossroads Hospice Thrift Store (2780 Barnet Hwy., Coquitlam);
Share Family and Community Services Society Thrift Store (2404 St. John's St., Port Moody);
and Shop-4-Paws Thrift Store (1049 Ridgeway Ave., Coquitlam.
