In partnership with The City of Calgary, Technotrash, Recon Metal, WINS-Women In Need Society, The Salvation Army and Bike Bike, The TGCA is hosting our area Community Cleanup Depot on Aug. 16, 2026 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
You are encouraged to bring select recyclable and re-usable items (list of items below) and your garbage for disposal. This will be an excellent opportunity to do that spring cleaning in the house, garage or yard and freshen up for summer. Please let others on your block know about this day as this will be a great opportunity to get to know your neighbours or just another opportunity to check in with them.

Entry to the event will be from the entrance on Centre Street and exit then on 56th Ave turning East or West. Upon arrival you will be directed by volunteers to ensure the flow of traffic and to make it easy for other events at the community centre if they occur. Safe vehicle travel and respectful behavior to you and to others is expected.
The easiest route would be North bound on Centre Street and then turning right into the front vehicle access driveway. This would then avoid a left hand turn off of Centre.

Keep the date open, avoid those dump fees and shorten that to-do list. We’ll see you there!
