It’s Spring-cleaning, and many households want to declutter their living spaces. Once again, Kincora Community Association is delighted to organize a community cleanup to help residents get rid of unwanted household items and property waste, thanks to the City of Calgary and Symons Valley United Church’s support. This event saves residents a trip to the landfill for items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts or for residents who do not have cart service by providing three packer trucks with crews. This service is free to all Calgarians.

Additionally, there will be electronic and metal recycling and household item donations at the cleanup site. Please note there is no compost truck for organic waste (use regular green bins instead). 

Details

Date: May 21, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Site: Symons Valley United Church parking lots

Please note that participants will be required to follow all active provincial and local public health measures during Community Clean-up events. For more information, visit www.alberta.ca/covid-19-public-health-actions.aspx and www.calgary.ca/covid19.
