Spring Cleaning Garbage Bins – May 8 to May 19, 2014

Two large bins will be provided to help facilitate your spring cleaning. The bins will be located on the cement pad in the alley behind Merrill Drive and in the parking area between 32nd and 33 Street..

Please place your items in 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..

Household chemicals (paint, 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 or call 311 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 or call 311 for acceptable items and other locations..

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 which will pick up items free of charge. Clothing and light household items can be donated to thrift shops. .

These are all extra steps for us but a better solution for a healthy environment.
