Asphalt shingles

How to dispose

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

Small quantities of asphalt shingles

  • Put into your black cart

Put small quantities of asphalt shingles, roofing paper and tar paper into your black cart as garbage.

  • Carts have a 60 kg weight limit. If you can easily roll your cart, it should be okay.
  • Make sure the lid of the cart can close.

Large quantities of asphalt shingles

  • Take to a City landfill

Take large quantities of asphalt shingles to a City landfill for disposal – charges will apply.

  • As of September 2018, separated loads of asphalt shingles are no longer recycled at City landfills at a reduced rate.

For businesses

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