The cleanup continues after Calgary's recent summer snowstorm. 

City crews, residents, and business owners are cleaning up the debris left behind.

As of Sunday afternoon, Enmax reported everyone had the power back on unless they were waiting for an electrician to make repairs.

The landfills have been busy and Dave Griffiths from the City of Calgary Waste and Recycling Services said “Calgary’s spirit is coming through in this.”

All over Calgary, neighbours are heeding the city's request to pick up, pitch in, and pull together.

One newcomer to the city said "I just moved in here in June and it seems like everybody on the street is willing to help everybody."

Griffiths also says the cleanup could take weeks but  “if residents can help us with the lighter materials, or the branches, we will be around again to help with the heavier lifting”.

The City of Calgary has released the following information as a guideline for Calgarians on how they can get rid of tree debris.

  • It is recommended that citizens visit a City landfill as landfill operations are best equipped to deal with all sizes of tree debris. All three City Landfills will accept tree debris from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Garbage and recyclables will only be accepted up to 5:00 p.m. Tipping fees continue to be waived for all tree debris that is not mixed with other garbage.
     
  • Beginning today, Saturday, September 13, citizens can access all 33 of The City’s leaf & pumpkin drop-off locations to dispose of tree debris. Please ensure that you dispose of manageably-sized tree branches to ensure your safety and the safety of those picking the loads up from the depots.
     
  • Citizens can continue to pile tree branches that are no longer than 4ft in length on front curbs or boulevards as long as they do not impede sidewalk or laneway access. City crews will collect these piles in the coming weeks.
