News from the Office

Community cleanup is here again! On Saturday, April 24, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, the City of Calgary Community Standards along with Waste & Recycling will have two packer trucks at the community center. One truck will be dedicated to collection of organics compostable yard material, while the second truck will take all the household garbage that cannot fit into your bin.

Community members can access additional disposal vendors that will be on-site to collect your electronic recycling, propane tanks, scrap metal, used tires and rims, and car batteries. There will also be secure paper shredding drop off for members – two file boxes per person. We will have a truck here for the collection of your gently used household items.

This year, we will not be collecting any hazardous household materials. With the near total loss of rental revenue due to the COVID shutdown, the board has made the tough decision to scale back the on costs associated for this service.

As always, CMCA will provide a pickup service for senior members that are unable to haul their junk to the community. To request a pickup, please contact me in the office. Pickups are limited and you must have a current community membership.

Please check our website closer to the day of the cleanup to confirm which vendors will be participating. I am still waiting for confirmation from a couple of recyclers. Also, at the time of writing, the COVID restrictions are still in place. All our awesome volunteers will be masked and gloved up for everyone’s safety. To help limit contact, please make sure to purchase your membership before April 24. We ask that you remain in your vehicle and let the volunteers unload for you.

Looking forward to another successful cleanup day!

Until next month…
