Transfer Site

CURRENTLY THE AIRDRIE TRANSFER SITE IS NOT ACCEPTING ASPHALT OR CONCRETE FOR PROCESSING.

When visiting the Transfer Site, please arrive with sufficient time to unload all material prior to closing.

The transfer site is a collection point for residential waste and construction material. Waste is transferred to landfill sites in Calgary. Sorting materials into the groups noted on this page helps us to recycle.

City of Airdrie recycling facilities (including the Airdrie Transfer Site) are subsidized through an environmental fee paid by Airdrie and Rocky View residents (additional fees apply at the Transfer Site). Business use of our facilities is not permitted as they do not contribute to this funding.

Not accepted

• Household hazardous waste and/or their container (pesticides, cleaners, etc.)*

• Fill / sod

*Please take household hazardous waste, paint, and microwaves to the Recycle Depot.
