Important Recycling Changes for Maple Ridge Residents – January 1, 2025

Will RMRS still operate the Recycling Depot? Â
Yes. Maple Ridge is focused on a redesign and expansion of the Recycling Depot and will continue to accept recycling materials included in the Recycle BC program.  Â
Was Maple Ridge already part of the Recycle BC program?Â
The City of Maple Ridge joined the Recycle BC program in May 2014, and, like many communities in the province, was receiving a financial incentive from Recycle BC to manage residential recycling collection. The City of Maple Ridge did this by providing funding to Ridge Meadows Recycling Society to collect the recycling, and Municipal staff oversaw and managed the contract. Residential recycling is funded by Recycle BC stewards that supply packaging and paper into the BC market, shifting costs away from taxpayers.Â
Does Recycle BC provide recycling services to any other communities?Â
Recycle BC already directly provides recycling collection in many areas of the province including the Cities of Vancouver, North Vancouver, Pitt Meadows, Langley, Coquitlam, Revelstoke, Prince George, Quesnel, the Village of Anmore, West Vancouver, the University Endowment Lands, and Regional Districts of North Okanagan, Central Kootenay, and Kootenay Boundary.Â
