How to dispose

There are two ways to dispose of concrete depending on whether you have small or large quantities.

Small quantities of concrete

  • Put into your black cart

Put small quantities of concrete into your black cart as garbage.

  • Carts have a 60 kg weight limit 
    • This is about half a cart full when filled with concrete. If you can easily roll your cart, it should be okay
  • Break down large pieces of concrete to prevent damage to the garbage truck
  • Make sure the lid of the cart can close

Large quantities of concrete

  • Take to a City landfill

Take large loads of concrete and cinder blocks to a City landfill for disposal – charges will apply.

For businesses

If you are a business with concrete to dispose of, they can only be accepted at East Calgary and Spyhill Eco Centre locations. See hours and locations here.
