City-Wide Garage Sale

The City of Port Coquitlam’s City-wide garage sale gives 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.

Turn Trash into Cash

Hold a garage sale with homes across the City on April 25 and help find a new home for your unwanted but useable items. Sign up by April 14 for free advertising.

How To Participate

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 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.

Donate Leftover Items

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).
