Someone dumped a trailer. Port Coquitlam is charging for return

“We are currently working on wrapping it with a bow for its delivery,” Port Coquitlam's bylaw officers wrote on a large note taped to a vehicle window.

The City of Port Coquitlam will charge an owner who left their damaged recreational trailer by the Pitt River dike.

Dominic Long, the city’s director of community safety and corporate services, said the municipality received a tip on Thursday, Aug. 8, about the derelict vehicle dumped at the end of Prairie Avenue.

The owner has since been located and will now incur the costs for abandoning and returning the trailer to them.

“We are currently working on wrapping it with a bow for its delivery,” the city’s bylaw officers wrote on a large note — with the city's letterhead — taped to a vehicle window.

A reader who sent images to the Tri-City News said no one was living in the trailer and one of the windows is a external mirror.
