Styrofoam Accepted at Maple Ridge Recycling Depot!

As an environmental, non-profit society, Ridge Meadows Recycling is committed to finding sound, environmental end markets for the material we collect.

We are excited to announce that one has developed for polystyrene, better known as styrofoam, and through the Multi Materials BC program we are able to accept this previously un-recyclable item for free drop-off at the Maple Ridge Recycling Depot. Save it up & bring it down!

The styrofoam is taken to a new company, Foam Only, located in Coquitlam. Foam Only takes all types of styrofoam, from polystyrene used in road construction and fridge packaging to household items like egg cartons and meat trays.

The company densifies it and reprocesses it into items like picture frames, crown molding, and baseboards.
