The Oakridge Community Association in conjunction with the City of Calgary presents an easy opportunity for Oakridge residents to reduce, reuse, recycle – and alternatively, throw away.
Free, at the community centre (9504 Oakfield Drive SW), Saturday April 30, 2011, from 9 am to 2 pm.
Free Store and Donations: Oakridge residents are invited to drop off household items – used clothing, jewellery, linens, draperies, toys, dishes, knick-knacks, small furniture, hoses, garden tools, etc. – and take items they can use. Items remaining at 2 pm will be donated to the Calgary Drop-In Centre.
Electronics and Scrap Metals Recycling: Separate trucks will be on hand accepting electronics (computers and parts, printers, cell phones, fax machines, etc.) as well as scrap metals such as microwaves, swing sets, curling irons and bed frames. Fridges and stoves will be accepted with a $15 fee.
Please note that unacceptable items will be turned away: auto parts including tires and motor oil; household hazardous waste, including propane tanks, paints, chemicals and batteries (these may be dropped at the Cedarbrae Fire Station); liquid waste such as cooking oil, medical waster, expired prescription drugs; common recyclables, including glass jars, paper, cardboard, plastics, etc. (these can be placed in our blue bins or taken to City recycling depots).
Same time, same place – penny carnival, food beverages, entertainment.
