The City will provide trucks to collect garbage going to the landfill.
Other recycling vendors may include metal, electronics, tires, and household donations.
Unfortunately, the City cannot accept chemicals, contaminated materials, or hazardous items.
30 volunteers from the three communities are needed to work one two-hour shift each.
Volunteers will: direct traffic, help people unload their items, support City workers and vendors, answer questions, promote community memberships, etc.
Thank you to the City of Calgary Community Standards, and Waste & Recycling, for their contributions. As well, thank you to the many volunteers in these communities who make events like this possible.

Hello! Happy 2023! For those who don’t know me, my name is Lillian and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Discovery Ridge Community Association (DRCA). I am on the Board and help to support events in our community. Last year we were finally able to gather and had a great time at Stampede Round Up in June and Music in the Park in September. I’m hoping we can enjoy these events once again. The events, however, need volunteer support from our community. If you are currently a volunteer, I look forward to connecting with you again this year. If you are not yet a volunteer, please consider joining this awesome group. Send me a message at volunteer@discoveryridge.com. I’d be happy to fill you in on our events and answer any questions you may have!
