#keepbinsin
The City of Calgary has partnered with the DRCA to work on improving wildlife and human cohabitation in Discovery Ridge, in particular with regard to waste and recycling services and strategies in our community.
Sign up for the City of Calgary ‘garbage day’ app to directly receive updates and notifications.
Upcoming Initiatives:
• The City of Calgary Waste and Recycling outreach team will be conducting an educational door knocking campaign in Discovery Ridge. This is tentatively scheduled for early May.
• Watch for the community information session hosted by AB Fish & Wildlife and City of Calgary Waste & Recycling at our Stampede Roundup.
Please secure your bins and do not place them out until the morning of pick up. This is a widely proven method to minimize negative wildlife/human issues. Let’s work together to prevent any similar outcomes to last fall when bears had to be euthanized after becoming habituated to human garbage and compost.
Did You Know?
Drink cans (pop, beer, juice, etc.) are huge attractants for bears to blue bins. Please consider collecting these separately and dropping them off at the community Bottle Shack instead of putting them in blue bins. If you paid a deposit on the purchase of the item, then it is eligible for refund and these funds are necessary for our facility and event operations. Thank you!
