Each year the City of Calgary Waste and Recycling Services partner up with community associations to help residents get rid of unwanted household items and property waste. The event saves residents a trip to the landfill for items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts and for residents that do not have cart service by providing packer trucks with crews. This service is free to all Calgarians.
On Saturday, May 21st we will have three City of Calgary garbage trucks available (3 trucks for regular waste) to be filled while we clean up the community. There will be no truck for organics this year.
Other services provided:
electronics and metal recycling
car battery disposal (no single use batteries accepted)
free/swap table
charitable donations to the WINS (Women in Need Society)
pick-up service–see Organizer contact info below.
The following items may not be brought to the cleanup site:
tires
household chemicals
home appliances
propane tanks
glass
paint
liquids
railroad ties
