In partnership with The City of Calgary, Technotrash, Recon Metal, and The Calgary Drop-in Centre, The TGCA is hosting our area Community Cleanup Depot on May 25, 2024, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
You are encouraged to bring your recycling (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. See site map below.
