News flash! The Cranston Community
Association will be participating in the Alberta Recycling Management Authority
Electronics Recycling Program again, through Shanked Computer Recycling. This
year, the list of items that you can dispose of through this program has been
expanded greatly (it’s huge!) and you can check out the extensive list at
https://www.albertarecycling.ca/programs/electronics/epilot/.
This is a fundraising opportunity for the
Cranston Community Association through the Alberta Recycling Management
Authority, so your participation is appreciated greatly – thanks in advance!
If you have any gently used household
items, you can donate them to Cerebral Palsy Alberta (one of our long-term
community partners at the cleanup event), who will use the funds generated to
enrich and support the lives of people in the disability community through
their programs and services.
For items that contain metal, Jim Donovan
(Rocky Mountain Metal Recycling) will gladly take them off your hands. Jim is
an independent businessman who has been an integral partner of the Cranston
Cleanup event for years.
The cleanup is for household items only –
no construction material please! The City of Calgary Waste Management Division
website has a complete list of waste-disposal items that are accepted at the
community cleanups. Note that there is no organic material drop-off or
recycling drop-off at the cleanup – garbage and trash only!
Finally, please bring enough help with you
to unload your items as the volunteers and vendor staff will not be unloading
your vehicle. See you there!
