Automated Collection
The City of Courtenay and Town of Comox are rolling out automated curbside collection in January 2024.
Carts will be delivered starting this September to households receiving curbside collection. Carts will be accompanied by an automated collection guide that will provide information on cart placement at the curb with tips on proper cart use. These frequently asked questions provide an initial overview of how the program will work and will be updated as new information becomes available.
