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
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).
New this year: Some of the cleanup events will be accepting used children’s sporting equipment donations through the Calgary Flames Sports Bank. Please check if donations are being accepted at your community event with your event organizer.
