Curbside Blue Box Pickup
In partnership with the District of Maple Ridge, our weekly blue box curbside pickup service combines the best of door-to-door efficiency with sound environmental principals & practices. Our specially-designed recycling trucks have multiple compartments which help keep the recycling streams separate all the way from curb to manufacturer.

When it comes to taking care of our waste, we do things a little differently here than in other municipalities, hopefully this website will help you understand why. To learn more about the history of recycling in Maple Ridge, take a look at Our History.

**NO BLUE BOX PICKUP ON STATUTORY HOLIDAYS**
We do not pick up recycling on statutory holidays. Please save your recycling and set it out the following week. If you have a lot of recycling build up between pickups, you can drop it off during open hours at the Maple Ridge Recycling Depot located at 10092 – 236th Street, Maple Ridge, just off River Road in the Albion Industrial Park. For a full schedule of statutory holidays, see our Events Calendar or download the 2013 Recycling Statutory Holiday Calendar.
SNOW DAYS: On heavy snow days, RMRS will make every effort to pick up the scheduled recycling. However, some areas are not safe for our trucks to travel during snowfalls. If you live in a hilly area or on a street that’s difficult to access, please do not put your recycling out in heavy snow. We will pick up your recycling the next week, weather permitting. You can also bring it to the Maple Ridge Recycling Depot during open hours.
Thank you very much for your understanding & patience! We are proud to be a part of the recycling system in Maple Ridge!
