University Heights sits between the University of Calgary and 16 Avenue, with Shaganappi Trail on the west. It was laid out in the 1960s. Today it's mostly townhouses, low-rise apartments and older houses, and most of them are rented, many to students and hospital staff.
That makes junk pickup in University Heights very seasonal. The end of April and the end of August are busy, when leases turn over and nobody wants to haul a futon onto a bus. Book online and leave it out by 8 am on a Tuesday or Friday. You don't have to stay for it.
Where to leave it in University Heights
Houses with a driveway or lane can leave items there. Keep them off the sidewalk, which gets steady traffic to campus.
For townhouse complexes and apartments, use the curb or your building's move-out spot. We don't go into hallways, shared stairwells or parking garages. If your property manager has a set place for bulky items, tell us in the booking notes.
Put things out that morning. A mattress left out a few days in April turns into a neighbourhood problem.
What people get rid of in University Heights
Short leases, small rooms and lots of second-hand furniture. The usual pickups:
- Single and double mattresses
- Futons, bean bags and worn-out desk chairs
- Bookshelves and particleboard desks
- Mini fridges and microwaves
Mini fridges and microwaves go to recycling. Furniture in decent shape goes to donation when a charity will take it.
