EVENT EXTENDED FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 14 - 19, 2024 and
JANUARY 22 - 26, 2024 FROM 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Town of Comox residents who have received the new waste collection carts can begin using them the week of January 2, 2024. Town of Comox residents who are unable to repurpose their existing waste collection containers will be able to drop them off for free at the west parking lot of Comox Marina Park, near the boat launch, between January 6 to 13, 2024.
This collection event will also provide an opportunity for anyone interested in repurposing containers to pick them up on a first-come, first-served basis. Many people can benefit from using the containers to keep them out of the region’s landfill. There are numerous creative and environmentally friendly ways to reuse them, such as do-it-yourself planters, rain barrels and storage of recycling depot items, mulch, or other landscaping items.
