About this event

Where does everything go? What's the engineering that goes into protecting us from our waste? It's a hidden system. We want to bring you inside.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour one of Calgary's active landfills, learn about the diversion process of our commercial waste, recyling and compost from city staff.

Departing from downtown on a charter bus, we will travel to the East Calgary Landfill and visit a variety of sites that are not typically accessible to the public, including the compost pad. We’ll be returning to downtown by 5:30 p.m.

SPACE IS LIMITED. Please register in advance for a place.

3:00pm - Leave downtown bus pick-up point
