Recycle BC is pleased to announce the release of two Request for Proposals (RFPs) for Post-Collection Services within British Columbia. The RFP process will identify successful and qualified service providers for the receiving, processing and/or sorting of residential packaging and paper products collected within BC, for the start of service as early as June 1, 2026. Successful respondents will become an integral part of an efficient and province-wide packaging and paper transfer and sorting system, aimed at maximizing the value and remanufacturing of recyclables while minimizing redundancy and improving efficiency. Potential respondents who are interested in submitting a proposal are invited to consider which of the following is best suited to the suite of services they are currently able to provide or wish to provide:
- Material Recovery Facility (MRF): a facility within BC that may receive, sort and process curbside, multi-family and/or depot PPP for furtherance to an end market, as designated by Recycle BC. Industry specifications and guidelines, as outlined by Recycle BC, must be met for all end markets.
- Receiving Facility (RF): a facility within BC that may receive and consolidate curbside, multi-family and/or depot PPP for furtherance to a MRF, as designated by Recycle BC.
Recycle BC will conduct this RFP process in a transparent and equitable manner consistent with its vision, mission and values as a trusted environmental advocate and community partner.
If you would like to provide notice to respond to one or both of these RFPs, please visit RecycleBC.ca/2025-rfp for more information. All qualified respondents will be required to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Recycle BC to gain access to information required for the submission.

Recycle BC encourages all potential respondents who are able to provide these services to watch for that information later this year
