Secure Your Waste to Help Keep Bears Away

All Port Coquitlam properties are required to follow the City’s bear regulations, which include a requirement to secure waste and other wildlife attractants.

As part of its bear management activities, the City provides wildlife-resistant locks for 120L, 240L and 360L garbage and green carts to Port Coquitlam households receiving City waste services that don’t have a garage or other secure shelter to store their carts.

Locks for 120L carts

Locks are available for 120L waste carts. Contact Public Works at 604.927.5496 or email publicworks@portcoquitlam.ca.

Locks for 240L and 360L carts, along with extra security arms (“third arm”) are available to all Port Coquitlam residents who receive City waste services. Please note: The first lock is free. A 240L replacement is $48.00 plus tax, and 360L is $50.00 plus tax.
