Lock it Are you using your Right! cart lock correctly?

1
In 2015, the City distributed bear-proof cart locks to households receiving City waste services in bear-prone areas. If used correctly, the locks are effective in keeping wildlife out of the carts.
Step-by-step video and instructions: www.portcoquitlam.ca/lock.

Proper positioning of lock
Hook the curved ends of each strap under the lip of the cart on both sides of the cart, as close to the handles as possible. The final step is to slide the pin into the clasp to secure the lock.
2
5
Lay both pieces of the lock flat on top of the lid.
To remove the lock, take out the pin, push in the safety latch, and lift the lever.
3
To close the lock, place the looped end of the clasp over the hooked end of the other strap, then push down the lever. The lock should not slide. If it is too loose, unclasp it and turn the loop to the right to tighten, or to the left to loosen.

Confused about where it goes?
You’re not alone! While most Port Coquitlam residents are sorting it right, many are still putting the wrong things into their waste carts.
AVOID PAYING MORE Ongoing contamination will lead to steep fines and fee hikes that will be passed on to taxpayers.

DID YOU KNOW? bags and 1 Plastic soft plastics never
go in green or blue carts What to do instead with soft plastics: BRING TO DEPOT: Grocery and other plastic bags (e.g. bread, dry cleaning, newspapers, produce, pre-washed salad); outer bags and wrap (e.g. tissue, mattresses, topsoil). PUT IN GARBAGE: Garbage bags, ziplock bags, chip and snack bags, plastic-like compostable/biodegradable bags, bubble wrap, cling wrap, multi-layer laminated packaging (e.g. for bacon, deli meat, cheese slices).
2 Food is not garbage!
4
Food never goes in your garbage cart. All food scraps and food-soiled papers go into the green cart, along with plant and yard waste. Info: www.portcoquitlam.ca/greencart.
Treated or stained wood
3 doesn’t go in the green cart Only untreated wood or branches up to three inches in diameter and 40 inches long go in the green cart. Take treated or larger pieces to the Coquitlam Construction Recycling Facility, 995 United Blvd.

all hard plastics go 4 Almost in your blue cart, no matter
what number is on the bottom
The exception is plastics that have symbols for corrosive, flammable or poisonous contents. To dispose of these items, go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/wastereduction. For what goes in your blue cart, go to www.portcoquitlam.ca/recycling.

Be Safe at the Grill This Summer • Never leave the barbecue unattended when in use. • Keep gas hoses away from hot surfaces and hot grease. • Don’t put water on a grease fire – it will only cause flames to flare. Use an approved fire extinguisher or baking soda. More tips: portcoquitlam.ca/firesafety.
