Bragg Creek Dump
OK, I give up. As of Oct.1 2026 the waste transfer site, commonly known as the dump located at the top of Elbow Rise in Bragg Creek has changed dramatically. I used to carefully separate plastic from paper, metal from glass, but now everything except compost and household waste goes in the cardboard compactor.
Please visit the Rocky View site for more information
Cross the Balsam Ave. bridge over the Elbow River and turn right, towards Wintergreen. Turn left in about a kilometre. There’s a sign.
Hours of operation
Wednesday 11 AM to 7 PM
Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM

Returnable bottles (pop, beer, wine, juice boxes) are not accepted at the dump. Take them to a bottle depot.
You can sometimes find a cast-off gem that you can use. I got a toboggan, friends got a garden bench.
There’s a charge for household waste – one ticket per bag. All the recycling is free. It is managed by the Rocky View County.
If you want to talk to the people of Bragg Creek, the dump is the place to go. Politicians, fund raisers and gossip mongers make good use of it.
