Port Coquitlam’s natural beauty, captured by local photographers, is featured once again in the 2021 city calendar that will start arriving in mailboxes in early December.

The city’s annual calendar will be mailed directly to all Port Coquitlam households and businesses. Entitled Naturally PoCo, the scenic calendar includes:

• Information about city events, services and meetings.
• Waste collection schedule in the monthly calendars.
• Space in the monthly calendars for writing personal schedules.

Highlighted throughout the calendar are striking photos of Port Coquitlam flowers, wildlife and landscapes, submitted by community shutterbugs following a call for photos. Over 650 photos were received, many of which will be used in city publications and have been posted at portcoquitlam.ca/photos.

Residents are also encouraged to use the City’s free Sort & Report app for collection reminders, sorting information and more. The City has renamed the former PoCo Waste-Line to reflect the wide variety of uses. The app can be downloaded for free at portcoquitlam.ca/sortreport to see your collection schedule, set reminders, report problems and use the search tool.

The calendar can be downloaded at portcoquitlam.ca/2021calendar. A one-page collection schedule and zone map can be downloaded from portcoquitlam.ca/waste (see Collection Schedule and Zone Map page).

Proper waste-sorting is a prevalent theme throughout the calendar, including Sort it Right! tips on each month’s page, to help residents understand what goes – and doesn’t go – into their waste carts.

The calendars are being delivered in 100% biodegradable plastic bags, and were printed on FSC-certified paper with at least 10% post-consumer recycled content.
