The City of Calgary has three landfill and Eco Centre sites where you can take residential waste, commercial waste, hazardous chemicals and some recyclables.

Items accepted

  • Residential customers

    The Eco Centres are a convenient way to recycle, reuse and dispose of your old and unwanted household items. They accept a wide range of items you can't dispose of in your carts at home.

  • Business and Commercial customers

    Businesses and commercial waste haulers can take advantage of our commercial waste disposal options as well as yard waste composting and recycling options for some materials.

    Industrial waste is only available at the Shepard Landfill location.
