Coquitlam residents have until the end of the month to ask to exchange their garbage or green carts for a different size for free.
Starting in January, a $50 administrative and delivery fee will be applied to anyone requesting a change. (Additional fees still apply for people seeking large garbage carts along with additional costs to acquire extra green carts.)
Those who wish to make the change can do so by calling 604-927-3500 to place their request. Exchanges requested now will likely happen in the new year and those who opt for smaller carts will see a reduction in their 2015 utility bill.
