Parkland's 2026 Community Cleanup on September 27th was another brilliant success, with many vehicles passing through. We removed four full City garbage trucks totalling 12,025kg of material, including decks and fences, mattresses, and large furniture. The metal bin was full of many patio chairs and bbq's, and about 1.640 metric tons of electronics was collected by Technotrash. To round things off, the Women in Need Society truck collected donations.
Thanks to our volunteers - Josh, Rich on ‘Metal’, our awesome greeters Mari-Anne, Andres and Antoinette. There were many muscles helping remove items from vehicles and trailers, Gord, Myles, Rose, Stacey, Steve W., with help from the Telus 'Give where we live' volunteer program - Jas, Jasmeen and Roxie.
Stacey and Rich did an amazing job with behind the scenes event preparation work assisted by Darren, Steve M and Jill. Additional thanks go to our MLA, Calgary Coop and No Frills who donated gift cards to help fund the event with food and supplies.
Finally, thanks to the community and beyond who donated refundable beverage containers for the Parkland Cares group.
