Waste & Recycling Services

	Election sign recycling The City of Calgary accepts corrugated plastic election signs for recycling at the Throw 'n' Go area of the Shepard Landfill (12111 - 68 Street SE). A temporary location will be open to collect signs until June 1, 2012. As long as loads only contain corrugated plastic election signs, there will be no charge. Signs must be free of any wood, bolts, wire or any material other than the corrugated plastic.
