Community Cleanups

Community Cleanups

Community Cleanup events provide an opportunity for Calgarians to dispose of items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts. They also support community residents who do not have access to cart service.

All events take place on Saturdays or Sundays (from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.).

In 2025, neighbourhoods across the city will host events during the following seasonal timeframes:

  • Spring: April 26/27 to June 28/29
  • Summer: July 5/6 to August 30/31
  • Fall: September 6/7 to September 27/28

If your organization is looking to host a Community Cleanup event in 2025, please complete the application form by February 16, 2025.

Each application will be reviewed and upon approval, a specific date will be offered to each group based on the application and available resources.

The City of Calgary supplies three packer trucks with crews, as well as funds (to a maximum of $300) to assist with cleanup expenses for each organized event. Please note that these events accept residential waste only.

Please check the community websites for more information on specific events.

All current scheduled Cleanups can be found below.

Attention: Due to capacity, organizers may impose cut offs to line ups prior to the event end time. (For example, an organizer may cap the line at 1 p.m. so all vehicles may dispose of waste prior to the 2 p.m. event closing time).
