Yard Waste - Other Options than landfill??

[stacy28]

I've got a bunch of branches sitting in my yard from pruning my trees, and can't believe that the city of Calgary doesn't have a facility to take them and turn into mulch/compost. Does anyone know of private companies in Calgary that would take it? I'd really rather not pile into my garbage.

Thanks!

Brush can be taken to the East Calgary Landfill Site (17 Ave & 68 Street SE) to be composted at their composting
pad. It must be requested at the scale house that this material be added to the branch pile set up for
landscapers. The cost is $5 for 250kg or less, or if a person has more than 250kg, a fee of $30/tonne must
be paid (organics rate).

Thank you!
Interesting that when I called 311 they didn't have that info!
Hmmm, now how to transport in my new car without getting it too dirty..
