The Environmental Protection Committee reviewed the GVS&DD Contract for
Household Hazardous Waste Collection and noted that Port Coquitlam is
scheduled to participate in a household hazardous waste collection event on
October 27th and 28th at the B.C. Transit site at Coquitlam Centre. The
communities that would participate at this location are Port Coquitlam,
Coquitlam, Anmore, Ioco, and Belcarra. The cost sharing for this event is
based on an estimate of the number of households that participate as shown on
the attached HHW Collection Days - Municipal Data Sheet. Nina Henriksen of
the GVRD nected that Port Coquitlam's share of the contract costs would be
$5,000.00. Also, Port Coquitlam would be responsible for other incidental
costs such as traffic control, fire and police protection, rentals for tents
and tables, and provide facilities to dispose of non-hazardous material. [t
is estimated that the additional costs would be in the order of $6,000.00
bringing the total cost for this program to $11,000.00. It is noted that the
Province will be responsible for advertising of the event.
