Important Recycling Changes for Maple Ridge Residents
Starting January 1, 2025, Recycle BC is assuming responsibility for Maple Ridge’s residential curbside and multi-family recycling services.
Here’s what you need to know:- Operator Change: As of January 1, 2025, Recycle BC will be responsible for your curbside and multi-family recycling collection. Ridge Meadows Recycling Society will continue to operate the Maple Ridge Recycling Depot. Commercial recycling is unaffected, and there are no changes to garbage and organics collection.
- All Recycling Material Accepted: You can continue recycling all the same items as before.
- Sorting Changes: Residents will need to sort recycling materials slightly different:
- Flexible plastics (wrappers, plastic bags, etc.) go in the red/pink box or flexible plastics recycling cart.
- Hard plastic and metal containers, cartons, and paper cups go in the blue box or mixed container recycling cart.
- Paper, including cardboard and boxboard, goes in the yellow bag or mixed paper recycling cart.
- Glass bottles and jars go in the grey box or glass cart. Closer to the transition time, Recycle BC will provide you with stickers to place on your red/pink and blue boxes to help with the changes.
- Collection Details: Mixed paper, mixed containers, and glass will still be collected weekly, but your collection day might change. Flexible plastics will be collected every two weeks on the same day as your other recycling materials.
