City of Courtenay property owners of single-residential dwellings and duplexes have until today to request a free change in the sizes of their household’s curbside organics and recycling carts.

Depending on the sizes of their existing carts, households included in the City’s residential curbside collection program can choose from 120L or 360L for their organics cart, and 120L, 240L or 360L for their recycling cart at Cart Exchange.

Manager of Public Works, Chris Thompson, says after trying the carts out since the first of the year, some households have indicated they’d prefer to downsize.

Friday, November 1, 2024, is the last day to submit the request and property owners will be contacted within three weeks to arrange the exchange.

This year, there is no cost for the exchange, but in 2025 exchanges will be subject to a $65 administrative fee.

Residents of multi-residential, strata or manufactured home parks with curbside collection through the City wishing to exchange carts should contact their property manager.

For details, visit City of Courtenay.
