Curbside Recycling Pickup – Recycling Boxes & Bags

If you are new to Maple Ridge*, WELCOME!
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.
Maple Ridge strongly believes in a resident-led, multi-sort system. Click to download the pdf RMRS Multi Stream Recycling Position Paper and learn more about why we remain committed to this system.
