Compost Giveaway event will be held at the Langdon Transfer Site on Saturday, May 10th. Event will run from 9am to 3 pm, or while supplies last.
This location is a Transfer Site. Transfer sites are large areas that are designed to collect many different material types such as yard waste, food waste, garbage, e-waste, tires, and recycling. When household waste is dropped off, these sites require payment by cash or the Tag-a-Bag system.

Donation Shed
Rocky View County has teamed up with Diabetes Canada to collect unwanted textiles and small household items in the donation shed located on site—items such as clothing and linens, housewares, books, toys, and knick-knacks.
Residents are asked to package hard items, such as books, plates, small appliances, and toys in boxes before bringing them to the donation shed; all other items may be packaged in plastic bags or boxes.
Notes
The transfer site cannot accept large amounts of renovation and construction materials at this time. It is the responsibility of the home owner to transport this material to an appropriate facility.
