Calgary Marlborough Community Association is hosting the City of Calgary Community Cleanup.
This is an annual event where residents can drop off items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts. This service is free of charge to all Calgarians.
Volunteer for Calgary Marlborough Community Cleanup
We have multiple volunteer positions available at different time slots; 8-10 am, 10 am-12 pm, and 12 pm-2 pm. There will be a hand sanitizing station and we will provide masks, gloves and lunch to all volunteers. Please select a position and a time slot and sign up using the form.
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.
We commonly see items such as: - Furniture (mattresses, sofas, chairs, desks, dressers, etc.)
- Toilets
- Broken recreational items (old treadmills)
- Lumber from old fences and decks
- Weird items: garden gnome collection, broken grandfather clock, taxidermy items
Technotrash will also be there to collect all your electronic waste like old TVs, computers, printers and the rest of your electronic junk and Copage Metal will be collecting all things metal.
There will be no yard waste trucks available this year.
What are some of the restricted items that the Cleanups do not take?
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.
