Special Pick Up Service

Did you know? As an alternative, you can bring items to the United Blvd. Waste & Recycling Centre in Coquitlam. Charges may apply. Find out more information here.

**Due to the statutory holidays, there will be no special pick ups Dec. 23 - Jan. 3.**

For larger items requiring disposal, the City may be able to offer a special pick-up where the items can be collected for a fee. Use the request form below to initiate your special pick-up; staff will respond with a quote for the pick-up fee and instructions on payment if you wish to proceed. Items with bedbugs must be disclosed in advance and wrapped in plastic.
 
Please note: Some restrictions apply. No refunds will be issued once payment is made. Special pick-ups are scheduled on Thursdays (no pick-ups during weeks affected by a stat holiday).
