2023 Community Cleanup Dates
Community Cleanup events save residents a trip to the landfill for items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts or for residents who do not have access to cart service. This service is free of charge to all Calgarians.
What items are accepted at the Community Cleanups?
Accepted items include (but are not limited to) furniture (desks, chairs, sofas, old mattresses, etc.), toilets, and recalled or broken recreational products.
What are some of the restricted items that the Cleanups do not take?
Common restricted items include barbecues, lawnmowers, household chemicals and large appliances. We DO NOT accept these.
Not all items can be accepted at Community Cleanups as they cannot go in the garbage truck to be disposed of. Garbage trucks will not accept:
car batteries
glass (window panes, glass table tops, etc.)
household appliances with freon (refrigerator, freezer)
microwaves
liquids (cooking oil)
household hazardous waste (propane tanks, paint)
automobile/cleaning/healthcare/gardening chemicals
railway ties
sod or dirt
Check with your Community Association in advance of the event as they MAY bring in other vendors to receive items not accepted by City trucks.
Household hazardous waste materials can be brought directly to a household hazardous waste drop-off location.
Why is organics/yard waste removal not being offered this year?
Since the introduction of the green cart program, the organics truck is utilized less each year during the Community Cleanup events. This shows that Calgarians are adopting a year-round approach to getting rid of organic waste. The City is also offering the Spring & Fall Yard Waste Program where citizens can drop off large loads of organic materials for free at our landfills. The spring dates for drop-off are from April 18, 2022, to May 29th, 2022. Fall dates have not been released yet.
