The McKenzie Towne Community Association (the MTCA) is a volunteer organization dedicated to serving our community through information, engagement, and planning social and recreational activities. We work in concert with the McKenzie Towne Council, the City of Calgary, local schools, and the Calgary Police on issues that impact our lives. We want to ensure that McKenzie Towne continues to be a great place to live, work, shop, and play. You are invited to contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns at feedback@mckenzietownecommunityassociation.ca.

Please note that the McKenzie Towne Community Association has no connection to the annual HOA fees due in June and therefore cannot provide any information. This is the responsibility of the MT Council who can be contacted through their webpage at www.mtcouncil.com.

City of Calgary: Take Part in the Foam Recycling Pilot

A six-month pilot project began on May 13 to collect foam packaging (also known as Styrofoam) for recycling at any of our three City landfills. Calgarians can bring foam packaging for recycling to the designated area at a landfill free of charge. Calgarians can bring clean foam with no food residue, tape, glue, or labels. Examples include:

• Shipping foam packaging (ex: foam that protects new electronics)
• Foam egg cartons
• Foam meat trays with absorbent pads removed
• Foam take-out containers
• White and colored foam (no black polystyrene foam)

Can’t take foam to the landfill? Put it in the black cart as garbage. Do not put in blue cart. Foam breaks into small pieces in collection trucks causing contamination and lowering the market quality of the other recyclables.
