Use the Leaf and Yard drop off

Filed in: Composting, Waste & Recycling

Until November 9th, 2008 you can recycle your bagged leaves and pumpkins free of charge at several locations around Calgary. Go to calgary.ca and type “Leaf and Yard” into search for locations.

Calgary’s waste to landfill goes up significantly in the spring and fall due to yard clean ups. This organic matter breaks down aerobically in the landfill creating methane gas emissions: a very potent greenhouse gas.

Alternatively, you can compost them at home. Clean Calgary sells $25 compost bins year-round and fall is the perfect time to start!
