Maple Ridge Garbage Dump: Hours, July 2026 Fees, Free Recycling and Pickup Help
The location commonly called the Maple Ridge dump is the Metro Vancouver Recycling and Waste Centre at 10092 236 Street. It accepts eligible garbage and selected paid materials. The neighbouring Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot accepts more than 200 recyclable items. Maple Ridge does not run municipal curbside garbage pickup, so your garbage date comes from a private hauler; residential recycling dates come from Recycle BC.
Quick Answer: Dump, Depot or Curbside Pickup?
Maple Ridge has no single municipal garbage schedule. Choose the service according to what you are trying to dispose of.
Private pickup or paid drop-off
Arrange curbside collection through a private company or take eligible household waste to the Metro Vancouver centre.
Check the free depot first
Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot accepts more than 200 items. Separating them can reduce disposal cost and avoid banned-material surcharges.
Use the Recycle BC calendar
Paper, containers and glass are collected weekly. Flexible plastics follow an every-second-week schedule.
Your recycling date is not necessarily your garbage date. Recycle BC handles residential recycling, while garbage and food-scrap collection are privately arranged.

Before You Drive: Load-Sorting Checklist
Sorting at home makes unloading safer and helps prevent a mixed load from being charged at the highest applicable rate.
Keep these groups accessible
- Free recycling-depot items
- General household garbage
- Yard trimmings and clean wood
- Mattresses and box springs
- New or used gypsum
- Gas cylinders and stewardship items
Make unloading safer
- Secure and tarp loose material.
- Place heavy items where they can be reached safely.
- Do not bury free recyclables under garbage.
- Keep leaking products upright and labelled.
- Bring a payment method accepted by the facility.
- Plan to unload everything by hand.
The facility requires hand unloading. Do not arrive expecting to raise a dump trailer, tip a truck box or unload directly onto a landfill face.
Can You Drop Off Garbage at the Maple Ridge Dump?
Yes. Residents can bring acceptable household garbage to the Metro Vancouver centre for a fee. Acceptance and pricing depend on the material category and how the load is separated.
Use the paid garbage area for ordinary residual household waste that is not banned or recyclable.
Keep clean leaves, branches and accepted green material separate to use the yard-trimmings rate.
Separate untreated clean wood. Painted, treated or contaminated wood may require another category.
Mattresses and box springs are charged per item. The facility limit is four units per load.
Keep new drywall separate from used or demolition drywall because the fee categories differ.
Follow Metro Vancouver’s wrapping, labelling and preparation requirements before travelling.
The waste centre accepts qualifying gas cylinders, including nitrous-oxide canisters, for recycling. Ask staff where to unload them.
The paid centre does not operate a reuse area. Search Metro Vancouver Recycles or donate usable goods before disposal.
Keep garbage, clean wood, yard trimmings, gypsum and recyclable materials visibly separate. Staff determine the final category at the facility.
Maple Ridge Dump Fees Effective July 1, 2026
Metro Vancouver charges according to material and measured weight. The scale records the vehicle entering and leaving. Small-load totals can also involve a minimum charge and the transaction fee.
| Material | Published rate | Minimum, maximum or limit | What the resident should know |
|---|---|---|---|
| General garbage under 1 tonne | $182 per tonne | Maximum $167 per load | Actual charge depends on scale weight and applicable facility charges. |
| General garbage, 1–7.99 tonnes | $162 per tonne | Maximum $1,093 per load | Large loads should be confirmed before arrival. |
| General garbage, 8 tonnes or more | $136 per tonne | Weight-based | Commercial and large-load conditions may apply. |
| Yard trimmings or clean wood | $139 per tonne | $10 minimum | The material must remain clean and separate from garbage. |
| Mixed organics | $175 per tonne | $10 minimum; maximum 100 kg per load at applicable centres | Confirm that the Maple Ridge facility accepts your exact organics load. |
| New gypsum | $158 per tonne | $15 minimum | Keep new gypsum separate from used material. |
| Used gypsum | $210 per tonne | $15 minimum | Special preparation and packaging rules apply. |
| Mattress or box spring | $20 per unit | Maximum four units per load | A mattress and its box spring count as separate units. |
| Special-handle waste | $310 per tonne | $55 minimum | Contact the facility before transporting unusual material. |
| Transaction fee | $5 per load | Applies to solid-waste and gypsum loads | Applicable minimum and maximum charges include the fee where stated. |
Do not copy the minimum from another Metro Vancouver facility. Use the official estimator because the final amount depends on material, scale weight, the applicable minimum or maximum, and the transaction fee.
Accepted payment methods
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Debit
- Apple Pay
- Cash
- Published garbage and recycling fees do not include GST because GST is not charged
Sort Banned Materials Before Entering the Garbage Line
Metro Vancouver inspects loads for recyclable materials, stewardship products and hazardous waste that should not be disposed of as regular garbage.
Removal and surcharge risk
Banned hazardous, operational-impact or stewardship products can trigger an $80 minimum surcharge plus removal, cleanup or remediation costs.
50% tipping-fee surcharge
A garbage load containing banned recyclable material can receive an additional charge based on the tipping fee.
High-volume foam penalty
A load containing more than 20% expanded-polystyrene packaging can receive a 100% tipping-fee surcharge.
Search these before disposal
- Batteries, vapes and electronics
- Paint, pesticides, solvents and automotive fluids
- Propane cylinders and compressed-gas containers
- Foam packaging and flexible plastics
- Appliances and refrigerant-containing equipment
- Large amounts of recyclable cardboard, metal or wood
Official Maple Ridge Waste Centre Map and PDF Guide
The official visitor map shows the vehicle scale and separate unloading areas. It is useful for planning how to load the vehicle before the trip.
Follow staff and lane signs
Declare the load accurately and wait for directions before moving to the unloading area.
Do not combine categories
The map identifies areas for garbage, food scraps, gypsum, mattresses, clean wood, tires and yard trimmings.
Free recycling has a separate route
The Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot is shown beside the paid waste centre rather than as a bin inside the garbage area.
View the official facility map or recycling calendar
The selected PDF loads only after the button is pressed, reducing initial page weight.
Place material for the first planned stop where it can be reached first. Do not bury mattresses, gypsum, clean wood or free recyclables beneath mixed household garbage.
Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot: Free Drop-Off for 200+ Items
The depot is the best first check for recyclable household products. Accepted items should be clean, separated and prepared according to depot signs or staff instructions.
Devices and accessories
Use the designated electronics stations instead of placing devices in garbage.
Prevent collection fires
Keep batteries and battery-powered products out of curbside garbage and recycling.
Ask before unloading
Motor oil, cooking oil and qualifying household products use controlled receiving areas.
Clean and separate it
Remove food residue, labels and tape where required and follow white-versus-coloured foam signs.
Bag clean, dry items
Keep clothing and household textiles dry so reusable or recyclable material is not contaminated.
Protect against breakage
Transport lamps and bulbs securely and ask staff which station accepts the specific type.
Separate attachments
Remove non-metal components where practical and follow depot instructions.
Check the appliance type
Large appliances, small appliances and refrigerant equipment can have different routes.
For qualifying flammable or poisonous products, keep the original container and a legible label. Speak with an attendant before unloading liquids, paint, pesticides, antifreeze or oil.

Maple Ridge Garbage Pickup Schedule Today
Maple Ridge does not provide municipal curbside garbage or food-scrap collection. Your pickup date, cart limit, holiday change and missed-service rules come from the private company serving your property.
Check the private-hauler account
Use the provider’s app, invoice, customer portal, email notice or service line to confirm today’s collection.
Confirm whether service is included
Some providers offer an organics cart or add-on service; others collect garbage only.
Ask property management
A shared-bin contract may use a different provider and schedule from nearby detached homes.
Questions to ask the garbage provider
- What is the exact pickup day for my civic address?
- Is collection weekly, every second week or customized?
- Does a statutory holiday change the date?
- What cart, bag and weight limits apply?
- Are food scraps, yard waste or extra bags included?
- How late can collection continue?
- When and how should a missed pickup be reported?
- Are furniture, appliances or moving waste available as paid add-ons?
A PDF found through an old search result may cover recycling or one private company only. It does not establish a City-operated household garbage day.
Maple Ridge Recycling Schedule 2026–27
Recycle BC’s current guide covers July 2026 through June 2027. Maple Ridge uses Monday-to-Thursday routes, and a statutory holiday during that period moves the remaining routes forward by one day.
Paper, containers and glass
Place the yellow paper bag, blue container box and grey glass box out on the scheduled weekly day.
Flexible plastics
Use the pink or red box only on the correct Area A or Area B flexible-plastics week.
Do not report too early
Flexible plastics may be collected at a different time from paper, containers and glass.
Curbside preparation from the official PDF
- Set material out between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.
- Do not set recycling out the night before because of wildlife.
- Leave approximately 1 metre between recycling and garbage or organics carts.
- Place the yellow bag between boxes rather than on top.
- Flatten oversized cardboard to no more than 76 × 76 cm.
- Empty and rinse containers and glass.
- Keep flexible plastics together inside a clear reused bag, pouch or overwrap.
- Avoid overfilling boxes or creating loose windblown material.
Paper and cardboard
Keep paper clean and dry. Contain shredded paper inside a paper bag or small box.
Mixed containers
Use for accepted rigid plastic, metal containers, cartons and paper cups.
Glass bottles and jars
Remove lids and place accepted lids in the blue box.
Flexible plastics
Set out only on the correct alternating collection week.

Before reporting curbside recycling
- Confirm the address and scheduled day.
- Check whether flexible plastics were due that week.
- Confirm everything was out by 7 a.m.
- Leave material out until the end of collection day.
- Look for an Oops tag explaining a sorting problem.
- Remember that multiple collection trucks may arrive at different times.
Brush, Yard Trimmings and Food Scraps
Maple Ridge offers seasonal brush chipping, but it does not operate a regular municipal curbside green-waste or food-scrap service.
Use the City programme
The free programme normally operates twice yearly. Follow the neighbourhood deadline and pile rules; there is no exact household pickup time.
Use separated paid drop-off
Keep yard trimmings free of garbage and other contamination so they can use the proper material category.
Ask a private provider
Confirm whether your garbage company offers a food-scrap or organics cart.
Branches, invasive plants, grass, soil and garden waste can spread pests, damage habitat and create fire or access problems.
New Maple Ridge Resident Setup Checklist

Residential curbside and depot programmes may not accept business-generated volumes.
- Find the Recycle BC collection day for the exact address.

- Ask the seller, landlord or strata which garbage company serves the property.
- Confirm garbage, food-scrap and yard-waste pricing.
- Save the waste-centre and recycling-depot contacts.
