Join Us for the City of Calgary Community Cleanup!

The Calgary Marlborough Community Association is hosting the City of Calgary Community Cleanup. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to declutter and drop off items that don’t quite fit in your waste or recycling carts, all for FREE!

But we can’t do it without YOU! We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out with various positions during this important event. Whether you can lend a hand for a few hours or the whole day, your support will make a big difference in keeping our community clean and beautiful.

Ready to make a positive impact?

There will be no yard waste trucks available this year.

What are some of the restricted items that the Cleanups do not take?
