Bin Rentals Calgary


​Providing Long & Short Term Roll Off Dumpster Service in Calgary and surroundings since 1988.
​

All of us at ALCOP Resource Recycling know a lot about Waste Management and that a better future for Calgary begins today. We are continually tuning our Waste Bin Rental methods to make sure we’re working as environmentally friendly as possible serving the great Calgary area and Southern Alberta.

Considering we’re in the Dumpster Rental business in Calgary, it’s rather clear where our most significant donation to eco-friendliness is: your waste materials. More particularly, the handling of it. To further assist in decreasing the influence on the environment as much as possible, every Bin we rent and every Clean up job we do is prepared by a contingent of professionals who make sure that we salvage as much Waste Materials as possible for recycling.
The amount of materials that can be recycled or reused is continually developing as waste management technology improves. Our team is kept up to date with the latest recycling procedures for our Garbage bin Rental Service all over Calgary so that the amount of waste that we don’t salvage is kept as little as possible.

Some examples of reusable/recyclable materials that our Roll Off Disposal bins can be used for are:

Construction Bin Rental, House Renovations.
Metal, which can be salvaged and taken to local scrapyards or recycled.

Cardboard, glass, plastics and other materials that you drop into a dump bin which are handled to be recycled.
Brick and Concrete. After you used our Dumpster Bin Rental Service, these elements can be ground for the production of new bricks and concrete. Looking for a Dumpster Rental in Calgary? Look no further, ALCOP offers the most reliable Roll Off Bin Rentals in Calgary, both short and long-term.
Also, the Dirt and soil used in farm cleanups or home renovations can then be used as fill, and the asphalt, which can be recycled and turned into new pavement.

At ALCOP we are always Working Green
We understand what you’re thinking. How else can we likely be greener? We’re a waste bin rental company in Calgary! We believe that environmental responsibility goes well beyond understanding we recycle or reuse as much of your waste as we can. We think that everything we do in our lives can have an impact on the environment.

Because of this fact, we assess our day to day operations with a "green mindset." We believe it’s essential to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible. This involves constant changes to and monitoring of our Waste bin delivery and picks up processes and trucks to decrease our fuel consumption and reduce waste production. It also incorporates the use of other energy sources such as electricity and water.

We understand that each employee’s efforts are critical in decreasing our environmental footprint and in achieving our goals. We support associates to think green and make a promise to “working green.” Little things can have an influence when considered over time. Our crew has adopted this philosophy and promote recycling and energy conservation both in the workplace and outside of it.

We encourage you to do the corresponding. Think twice before purchasing items you may already own. Consume what’s necessary. And at the risk of putting the Waste Bin Rental industry in Calgary out of business, reuse and recycle as much as possible.


At ALCOP we offer Roll Off Bin Rental Service in Calgary and all over Alberta, for  more information call us at 587-434-6451 our site

Calgary landfill cleanup for new LRT Green line

2/10/2018

 
Landfill Cleanup Calgary
Landfill Cleanup Project
ALCOP Resource Recycling also offers Landfill Cleanup Services in Calgary, and now with all the projects going on in the city and with the spring season fast approaching we thought it would be a good idea to update everyone we reach with this post about the ongoing Green Line LRT plan which is anticipated at $90 million, part of a schedule to clean the way for the $4.6-billion Cleanup plan.

Organizations are required to clean and remove approximately 600,000 cubic meters of waste from the sites in Highfield and Ogden where the Shepard Industrial site is located.

The industrial waste, thought to be made up of mainly old construction materials dating back to the 1960s, will be almost entirely removed from the Highfield location. A partial clean up is planned for the former Ogden landfill, just east of 24th St S.E., close to the Calgary Rugby Union fields.
Picture

The landfill sites will be partially cleaned up to allow for the new Green Line LRT project. An expected 260,000 cubic meters of waste will be transported to one of the calgary's existing landfills

​It is part of a $250-million plan the city has called "Enabling Works" according to a CBS article recently posted. The city says it's pro-active in doing all of the prep work needed for the Green Line before the central contracts are granted. The entirety of the work could take up to three years to be completed before the construction of the LRT line starts in 2020.

The operation will include environmental remediation, utility relocation, land preparation and transit enhancements. There's a lot of things unknown associated with the LRT arrangement, so by clearing the way, that work will be minimized. 

It is also known that there was an early review in which the Green Line would merely pass through the Highfield industrial area without the need for a station, but the section has been included with the planned Highfield station and the potential for the city is enormous.

The area will be turned from a toxic zone into a viable portion of future, transit-oriented addition. Once the land is remediated, the area can be redeveloped to provide commercial and possibly residential use. The Green Line, which will run laterally to the existing CN right of way, will also incorporate a multi-use pathway with connections to the Bow River pathway system.

ALCOP IS THE CHOSEN SCRAP AND WASTE MATERIAL REMOVAL SERVICE IN CALGARY

The City of Calgary says the budget for the Green Line may increase depending on the circumstances attached to the multi-million Enabling Works funding that was granted by the provincial-federal governments.  

In reality, nothing has been approved, and the city of Calgary wouldn't want to raise false hopes of there being more money for continuing Stage 1 at this point. Stage 1 of the project covers 20 km of track and 14 stations, including Crescent Heights in the north and Shepard in the south.

How important is Metal Recycling for the Environment in Calgary?

The Scrap Metal Industry in Canada and Alberta in specific focusing on both Calgary and Edmonton Markets is a well-established and important means of reclaiming metal from goods after their useful lives. It then passes through Metal Recycling, which has various benefits and represents an influential role in promoting both economic and environmental consequences for Albertans.

Redirecting Scrap Metal from Calgarian landfills is hugely successful in that it produces raw materials for the manufacture of new products, while further giving a lower carbon footprint and more efficient use of current resources. Apart from the environmental advantages, Metal Recycling in Calgary is an extremely lucrative venture.
​

​That said, nevertheless, there is still more work to be performed for the Metal Recycling industry in Calgary and worldwide. In regards to this, one suggestion made by the United Nations is to promote product designs that execute the separation of Metal Materials simpler. 

Another recommendation is to improve Scrap Metal Collection, Disposal and Recycling technologies in Calgary and all over Canada to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated products created with a more diverse range of alloys and metals.

​Aside from diverting Scrap Metal from landfills in Calgary, other significant advantages of Metal Recycling versus creating new metal include a reduction in energy consumption and the use of different materials. For example, recycled aluminum requires 95% less energy and copper 90%. Furthermore, the recycling of 1 ton of metal bypasses using  1,400 lbs. of coal, 120 lbs. of limestone and 2,500 pounds of iron ore.

Since 1988, our team at ALCOP Resource Recycling Inc. has been serving Calgary, and surrounding areas including Airdrie, Crossfield, Cochrane, Okotoks, High River and more. We offer a variety of affordable disposal solutions, as well as Bin Rental, and Scrap Pick up Services. For more info, Please reach us at 403-605-2559 or let us know below!
