About Auburn Bay, Calgary

Auburn Bay is one of Calgary's premier lakeside communities, centred around the private 43-acre Auburn Bay lake — the largest private lake in Calgary. Located in the city's deep southeast, Auburn Bay has been one of Calgary's fastest-selling communities since development began in 2007, consistently ranking among the most desirable neighbourhoods for families. The lake offers year-round recreation, with swimming and sailing in summer and hockey and skating in winter.

The community features a wide range of housing from lakefront executive homes to more affordable townhouses and semi-detached properties further from the lake. Auburn Bay's residents are predominantly families and young professionals who value the recreational amenities, excellent schools, and easy access to Stoney Trail, Deerfoot Trail, and the South Health Campus. The community centre at Auburn House provides additional year-round programming and events.

Calgary Waste Collection in Auburn Bay

Auburn Bay is served by the City of Calgary's SE sector waste collection program. All schedules are managed through the Recollect platform. Auburn Bay's larger footprint means different streets may have different collection days.

Garbage (black bin): Collected weekly on your designated weekday.
Recycling (blue bin): Every two weeks, alternating Week A / Week B depending on your address.
Green cart (organics): Collected regularly.
Required: All bins must be at the curb by 7:00 AM on your collection day per City of Calgary bylaw.

Auburn Bay is a large and still-growing community. Some newer streets near the outer edges of the neighbourhood may have different pickup days than the original lakeside areas. MapleBins always uses your specific address with Recollect to ensure accuracy.
