Waste collection schedules and zones changing in Courtenay in July

Changes are coming to the City of Courtenay’s waste collection routes in hopes of making them more efficient. 

Starting July 2, solid waste collection schedules and zones will be adjusted in an ongoing effort to streamline service and align schedules with the city’s regional partners. 

City Manager of Public Works Services Chris Thompson said automated collection has increased the reliability of curbside collection services in Courtenay. 

“We had anticipated making this schedule adjustment mid-way through 2025 as Emterra refined their collection routes, and that’s why the previous 2025 schedule covered only January through June. 

Many households are expected to see a change to their collection day, with updated maps and schedules to be delivered by mail or available online. 

Organics will continue to be collected weekly, with garbage and recycling alternating between biweekly and non-weekly. 

The new schedule will also continue using the ‘add-a-day’ calendar, shifting collection days by one day after statutory holidays. 

The updated schedule will introduce new schedules for collection zones A, B, C, and D across Courtenay.
