FAQ’s: 10lbs is 2 big ice scoops, about the size of a loaf of bread. Best to store it in a cooler, expect to lose @ 50% over 24 hours. The bricks last much longer.
Please Call for Wholesale Pricing
Our wholesale program involves buying it by the 500 lb container. These containers make the dry ice last much longer. We also provide delivery with our dedicated truck.
Formats available for wholesale are: 3mm pellets (“rice”), 16mm nuggets (“fingers”) and 5″ x 8″ bricks (thickness range from .75″ to 2.75″, depending on customer request).

Misty Stix & Penguin Stix
These are what we use for awesome dry ice cocktails – and they keep us safe! The Misty Stix are like a plastic stir stick with a chamber. You place a dry ice nugget into the chamber and click it shut. One nugget lasts around 7 minutes in a drink. The Penguin Stix are a stainless steel version that come in 3 different colours – gold, rose gold and multi-coloured. These are a step up and longer lasting, classier version.
Pick them up in our store for $2.50 and $5.00 each, or order them with your dry ice delivery below.
Note – you DO need dry ice to make these work!

Gopher Eradication
Gophers are cute little critters, but they destroy crops and pastures meant for grazing. Conventional methods involve using poison that kill other animals (dogs) and are terrible for the environment. Dry ice is chemical free and simply puts the gophers to sleep in their holes before it disappears. Contact us for more info!
Wholesale
If you require 500 lbs per week or more, our wholesale program may make sense for you. This represents 80% of our business. We ship our pellets and nuggets and now bricks to customers throughout Western Canada, and especially Southern Alberta. We also provide Calgary deliveries with our dedicated truck.
Our containers hold @ 500 lbs each, they are sold by the full container (we don’t sell half full containers). They are designed specifically for dry ice; it will only disappear (sublimate) at a rate of @ 4% per day (based on manufacturer testing). We offer delivery and need the empty containers back within 1-2 weeks. Pricing depends on a few things; please give us a call.

Benefits
It's environmentally safe
Dry ice can serve as an eco-friendly alternative to a lot of damaging solvents or hazardous chemicals! It doesn’t leave behind any harmful secondary wastes as it evaporates, resulting in a safe and easy clean-up.
Keeps your food cool
Whether you need to keep your food cool for catering or other event purposes, going out camping for a weekend, or need to preserve your rewards from hunting or fishing trip, dry ice is your best option for safely keeping meat, berries, fruit, and more fresh.
Won't leave everything wet
Unlike regular ice, dry ice won’t leave a soggy mess when it melts away. Since it is made out of frozen carbon dioxide, dry ice goes through sublimation, meaning it goes from a solid to a gaseous form.
Easy to handle
While you should refrain from ingesting it or touching it with your bare hands for too long, dry ice is easy to use. Wear a pair of gloves, and dry ice use can be as easy as pouring hot water over it or applying it to specific surfaces. Always do your research first!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is "Dry" Ice?
Dry ice is the solid form of C02 – basically, we have a machine that forces it into a solid form by using pressure. Because of this, it’s perishable – it’s really starting to disappear and degrade as soon as we make it! That cool fog you see from dry ice is really that solid state transforming back into a gas. It doesn’t “melt” and turn into a liquid like regular ice.
How Do I Store It, and How Long Will it Last?
A couple of things you can do to slow down this “disappearing” process:
- IDEALLY – Pick it up from us the day you’ll be using it.
- Bring a camping cooler when you pick it up and keep it in a cool area. Even this will only keep it around for a couple days at the most. You’ll likely lose @ 50% in 24 hours. Sorry, you’ll have to order extra if you need it on the weekend. Do not store it in the freezer – it might trick your thermostat and turn it off! And it will disappear anyway. The best place to store it is in that camping cooler. Having said that, our bricks last a long time – up to 7 days!
What Are Your Business Hours?
Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and Saturdays 10am – 2pm (summer only).
Can I Show Up to Buy It, or Should I Call/Email First?
Unless you need over 150 lbs, just come in – we always have nuggets on hand and bricks as well during camping season. For larger orders you may want to call ahead to avoid waiting for it. We make it here and we won’t run out!
Do You Offer Delivery?
Yes! We offer delivery for wholesale and retail within Calgary. Just click on the “order for delivery” button above and our current rates are on the next page.
Please contact us for wholesale delivery rates.
Do You Sell Wholesale Quantities?
Yes! This is @ 80% of our business. We sell it by the 500 lb container of pellets, nuggets and bricks (custom sizes available) and offer dedicated delivery. Please contact us for details and pricing.
What's Dry Ice Used For?
Dry Ice is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle—it’s perfect for temperature sensitive shipping solutions. Our dry ice is purchased by special effects companies, laboratories, photographers, catering companies, freight companies, even campers and fishermen! It has cannabis applications as well.
Are There Any Safety Concerns?
- Dry ice has a surface temperature of -78 degrees Celsius.
- Not wearing gloves when handling the product could result in frostbite.
- Always keep dry ice away from children.
- Do not swallow, or put dry ice in your mouth.
- Do not put dry ice in anyone’s clothing for fun. Potentially severe frostbite may occur as a result of prolonged contact with the skin.
- Do not place dry ice inside an air tight container. Sublimed vapors will increase the interior pressure and will rupture the container.
- Place a thick layer of cardboard, Styrofoam or similar separator between food and liquid products which need to be chilled. Food and liquid products in containers will freeze when their container is placed in contact with dry ice over a short period of time.
- Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide that expands to a gas. You can lose consciousness by directly breathing in the dry ice vapors for an extended period of time. You will sense carbon dioxide by a “tingling” sensation in the mouth.

About Us
Bryan Hawley started Scrub Zero Dry Ice Cleaning in 2005. By 2015, it made sense for Scrub Zero to produce its own dry ice, and we started selling it the same year. In 2019, we changed the name to Calgary Dry Ice Ltd. to better describe that side of the business.
In 2020, Covid was the nail in the coffin for Scrub Zero, and we no longer perform dry ice blasting services. Instead, we invested in a new machine that makes dry ice slabs! We can now produce over 1800 lbs per hour in 3 different formats!
Calgary Dry Ice Ltd. is the only producer of dry ice in Southern Alberta. We feel there are many uses for dry ice that haven’t evolved locally, just because it hasn’t been readily available. While we feel there is great growth potential for retail dry ice ice, our main business is our wholesale customers (500 lb containers). Please contact us for pricing.
