The City of Calgary: Waste & Recycling Services

	Shepard Landfill entrance now located on 68 Street S.E. To accommodate the widening of 52 Street S.E., the entrance to Shepard entrance has been relocated to 68 Street S.E.


	Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion The City wants to encourage more recycling of construction and demolition waste. City landfills now charge a designated materials rate for commercial customers. This includes concrete, brick and masonry block, asphalt and metal. The City has also launched a construction and demolition waste diversion pilot at Spyhill Landfill to provide recycling opportunities for wood, asphalt shingles, drywall and cardboard.
	Blue Cart recycling is here. The City of Calgary provides weekly Blue Cart recycling service to single-family households up to and including fourplexes. All recyclables go in one cart�no more sorting�and plastics 1-7 are included. Collection is on the same day and location as regular garbage collection (front street or back lane).


	Community Recycling Depots All 50 Community Recycling Depots in Calgary have been converted to no sorting! All depots also accept plastics #1-7 (excluding polystyrene).
