As we emerge from winter and begin cleaning our yards, this is a reminder that pretty much all of that yard waste goes into the green bin! That includes:
Leaves, cones, needles and berries
Plants, tree fruits and flowers
Branches, twigs and hedge prunings
Grass clippings, sod and weeds
Garden soil and untreated mulch
Hay, straw and coconut planter liners
If you are wondering about disposable gloves and face masks, they all go into the dumpster as garbage!
This includes:
- All types of mask
- Rubber gloves
- Latex gloves
- Plastic gloves
- Nitrile gloves
- Dishwashing gloves
The city’s landfills are still open, but are not accepting cash payments. Additionally, the City of Calgary's Green Cart compost giveaway for 2020 has been indefinitely postponed.
