An essential service in Port Coquitlam was ramped up last week — months earlier than planned.
Last Thursday, the city started its year-round weekly pickup of green cart waste to homes with municipal garbage/recycling collection.
Homes in Zone 5 were the first to get the increased organics pickup, a program that was due to be implemented this fall as part of a strategy to reduce the number of bears becoming habituated to household trash.
