Waste & Recycling Services Update – April & May 2026

Household Hazardous Waste: Free Drop-Off in Calgary

Did you know the City of Calgary offers free Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop-off sites at 11 convenient locations across the city? There’s no cost to use these locations, and they’re designed to be quick, easy, and safe for residents.

HHW includes everyday household items that should not go in your blue, green, or black cart, such as:

  • paints and stains
  • batteries
  • cleaners
  • automotive fluids and chemicals

Placing these items in your carts can increase the chance of fires, toxic fumes, and serious harm in our homes and our community. Taking HHW to a proper drop-off site helps keep everyone safe while protecting the environment.

Before throwing something away, take a moment to check if it’s hazardous—and bring it to an HHW drop-off site instead.

To find a drop-off location near you, visit calgary.ca/HHW.

*This program is for residential drop-off only

Catalytic Converter Theft Spike

by

A Message from Calgary Police Service

I am contacting your community to inform you of a spiked crime trend that is affecting Calgary.

In the last 60 days there has been a significant increase in Catalytic converter thefts from vehicles. District 3 alone, has experienced 28 reported incidents of catalytic converter thefts and we believe there are more reported incidents in waiting to be uploaded to CopLogic (there is a backlog). We also suspect there may be some unreported thefts as well. This crime involves criminals using a power tool (usually an angle grinder) to saw off the catalytic converter from underneath a vehicle. Our crime analyst has identified the communities of Hounsfield Heights and St. Andrews Heights (west side parking lot of McMahon stadium) as hot spots for this theft within the district, although the spike is a city-wide crime trend.

Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activity and to continue to report any incidents online. If anyone is witnessing a theft in progress or soon after, please encourage them to call 911 immediately. Please share and reiterate crime prevention tips associated with vehicle theft. I have provided a link below for reference. I would also add that citizens are encouraged to park their vehicles in their garage (if available) overnight.

Our reports indicate the following:

  • Thefts are most likely to occur between 3:00am – 4:00am, 8:00am – 9:00am, 2:00pm – 3:00pm and 10:00pm – 11:00pm; and
  • Most targeted vehicles are:
  1. Mitsubishi RVR (2012-2024 models)
  2. Honda Element (2004-2010 models)
  3. Honda CRV (2003-2004 models)
  4. Honda Accord (2006 model).

Our CRO team is working to minimize this trend within District 3.
