The packers will take household waste items including (but are not limited to) furniture (desks, chairs, sofas, old mattresses, etc.), toilets, and recalled or broken recreational products.
We commonly see items such as:

- Lumber from old fences and decks
- Weird items: garden gnome collection, broken grandfather clock, taxidermy items
The City of Calgary will be here with their waste trucks!
These trucks do NOT accept:
- Barbecues, lawnmowers, and large appliances.
- Car batteries, glass (window panes, glass table tops, etc.), household appliances with freon (refrigerator, freezer), microwaves.
- Liquids (cooking oil), propane tanks, paint, automobile/ household/ cleaning/ healthcare/ gardening chemicals
- Railway ties, sod or dirt.
Household hazardous waste materials can be brought directly to a household hazardous waste drop-off location.
Check calgary.ca/cleanup for the full list of restricted items before heading to your community cleanup.
If your item(s) you brought cannot be accepted, you must take them back with you. There is no space to dump your unwanted, unaccepted item(s). No garbage or cardboard recycling on site!
We will be looking for volunteers for this event. We prefer volunteers to be over the age of 18, with steel toed or close toed shoes, and a good work effort. It is a busy day but a very fun day in the community! If you are interested in volunteering, please visit the Sign Up Genius
