About automated curbside collection

North Cowichan is getting new waste collection trucks – and the new trucks will be equipped for automated curbside collection. This means mechanical arms will lift carts and empty them into the collection truck.

In order for the arms to work, all residents will need uniform carts – these are provided by North Cowichan and will be delivered in 2025.

We’re getting started to make sure you have the information for this important change.
