Update -
Blue
cart collection resumes week of July 8
Starting
the week of July 8, Waste & Recycling Services (W&RS) will resume
regular blue cart collection throughout Calgary.
Residents
are reminded that recyclable materials must be placed loose in the blue cart.
If you have extra materials please take them to a community recycling depot or
save them for the following week.
Service
in Flood-Affected Neighbourhoods
Waste
& Recycling Services’ trucks will continue circulating through
flood-affected neighbourhoods assisting residents with collection of flood
waste. W&RS will also continue servicing dumpsters that were temporarily
located in these communities for flood materials.
-
Blue
and black carts will be collected on the regular collection day at the regular
location (front street or lane).
-
Residents
should contact 311 to report missing or damaged carts so The City can replace
them.
-
Residents
who are missing black carts in those areas can use garbage bags (maximum weight
20 kg per bag).
-
Recyclables
cannot be bagged so you need a blue cart to resume recycling collection. Please
contact 311.
-
Household
hazardous waste should be taken to the Throw ‘N’ Go areas in City landfills or designated fire
halls for safe disposal (visit calgary.ca/waste for locations).
-
Appliances
should also be taken to the Throw ‘N’ Go
locations in City landfills.

Starting
Monday, July 8, City landfills will resume normal operating hours of 7:30 a.m.

The
City will continue to waive landfill fees for flood-related waste until further
notice.

during the flood clean-up effort.
