Two large garbage bins are being provided to help facilitate your spring cleaning – May 15 to May 27, 2011. The bins are located on the cement pad in the alley between Merrill Drive and in the parking area between 32nd and 33rd Street.
Please place your items inside the bin. No large items (furniture, appliances).
Please think of the environment before throwing out items. What you consider garbage may be useful to someone else.
There are many centres that are looking for used furniture such as the Calgary Drop-In Centre. Clothing and light household items can be donated to thrift shops.
Household chemicals (antifreeze, automotive batteries, glues, nail polish and remover, propane tanks, fertilizer, ant, rodent or weed killer, bleach, cleaning solvents, etc. can be dropped off at Household Chemical Drop-Off locations (selected fire stations or landfill site). Our closest fire department is Fire Station # 4 at 1991 – 18th Ave. NE. Please check out the City of Calgary’s web site for acceptable items and other locations.
Electronics (computers, laptops, monitors, TV, printers, keyboards, etc) can be dropped off at the city electronic recycling depots. Our closest electronic recycling depot is Staples on 32nd Ave. NE. Please check out the City of Calgary’s web site for acceptable items and other locations.
Plastics, glass, paper, metal and cardboard should be recycled. Our Blue Bins are collected on Thursday.
These are all extra steps for us but a better solution for a healthy environment.
