The City of Port Coquitlam’s City-wide garage sale will be held on April 21, 2018, giving residents a chance to declutter, make some cash and find a new home for reusable items.
Held following Earth Week, the annual event is part of the City’s ongoing waste-reduction efforts. Participants dispose of their unwanted items in an earth-friendly way, while benefiting from the additional bargain hunters drawn out by the large number of garage sales. Last year, over 100 households signed up.
To participate, Port Coquitlam residents simply plan a garage sale at their home from at least 9 am to 1 pm, and register online.
Participants who register by the deadline April 11, 2018 will get free advertising for their sale in the Tri-City News newspaper ad prior to the event, as well as on the garage sale webpage.
All participants will be responsible for packing up any unsold items, similar to any regular garage sale. The City will not be picking up unsold items, and instead is encouraging participants to donate leftover items to charity.
The City will not be picking up unsold items and encourages residents to donate left over items to charity to benefit those in need and reduce the amount of waste generated.
Several area charities accept donations of household items (please phone ahead regarding larger items).
