Maple Ridge Garbage Dump and Recycling Schedule Helper: Private Garbage Pickup, Recycle BC Calendar and 236 Street Drop-Off
This Maple Ridge garbage schedule guide is built around the one detail that confuses many new residents: the City does not provide municipal curbside garbage or food scraps pickup. Recycling has an official Recycle BC schedule, but garbage and green waste pickup must be arranged privately or taken to an approved disposal site. Use this page to check recycling pickup, avoid missed set-out, find the Maple Ridge garbage dump, and choose the right official contact.
Quick Answer: How Maple Ridge Garbage Pickup Actually Works
Maple Ridge does not provide a municipal curbside garbage or food scraps collection schedule. Residents are responsible for arranging garbage and green waste pickup with a private service provider, or taking acceptable waste to the Maple Ridge Recycling and Waste Centre. Curbside recycling is separate and is handled through Recycle BC and its local collection partners.

No city pickup schedule
For household garbage pickup, use a private hauler and follow that company’s schedule, cart limits, food scraps rules, holiday policy and missed-pickup contact process.
Use Recycle BC
For curbside recycling, use the Maple Ridge Recycle BC schedule, app, recycling guide and collection reminders. Many homes changed collection days under the updated four-day schedule.

For disposal trips, check the Maple Ridge Recycling and Waste Centre and the Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot before loading your vehicle. They are beside each other but serve different purposes.
If you came from a city with municipal garbage carts, Maple Ridge may feel different. Your recycling pickup has an official Recycle BC calendar, but your garbage pickup day depends on the private company you hire.

Private Garbage Pickup in Maple Ridge: What to Ask Before You Sign Up
Because garbage and food scraps pickup is arranged privately, your real pickup day, cart size, missed-pickup policy and holiday schedule come from your hauler, not from a City garbage calendar.
Pickup frequency and day
Ask whether the provider offers weekly, biweekly or custom service, and whether garbage, food scraps, yard waste or bulky items are included.
Holiday and weather policy
Ask what happens when pickup falls on a statutory holiday, snow day, road closure or truck delay. Private providers may not follow the Recycle BC holiday rule.
Missed pickup and extra waste
Ask how to report a missed pickup, whether extra bags cost more, and whether food scraps or green waste must be separated.
Do not wait until collection morning to figure this out. If you moved into Albion, Silver Valley, Thornhill, Haney, Hammond or a rural edge area, confirm your private service before trash builds up.
Maple Ridge Recycling Schedule: Recycle BC, Four-Day Routes and Flexible Plastics
Curbside recycling is the part of Maple Ridge waste collection that does have an official community schedule. Recycle BC says Maple Ridge shifted to a Monday-to-Thursday recycling schedule, and many households had a collection day change.
🔵 Curbside recycling
Use Recycle BC’s Maple Ridge page, app and 2025–2026 recycling guide. The guide explains sorting, collection days and what does not belong curbside.
Set recycling out by 7 a.m. on the designated collection day, and leave it out until the end of day because different materials may be collected at different times.
📦 Flexible plastics
Flexible plastics are collected on a separate route and may be collected biweekly. Check the correct week before setting them out.
Recycle BC notes that flexible plastics may not be picked up at the same time as other recycling.
📱 Recycle BC app
Use the Recycle BC app for reminders, recycling sorting help and depot locations. This is especially useful after the schedule change.
Do not set recycling out earlier than 5 a.m. because early set-out can create wildlife attractants.
Recycle BC explains that when a statutory holiday falls on a scheduled Monday-to-Thursday recycling collection day, collection days for that week shift forward by one day. Always confirm with the app or schedule before setting material out.
Missed Pickup in Maple Ridge: Use the Correct Contact
Missed pickup in Maple Ridge depends on what was missed. Recycling, private garbage, multifamily recycling and depot drop-off questions have different contacts.
Remple Disposal
For residential curbside recycling missed pickups or service requests, the City lists Remple Disposal at 778-503-1340 and MapleRidge@RempleDisposal.com.
Waste Control Services
For multifamily buildings, the City lists Waste Control Services at 778-503-1341 and RecycleBC@WasteControlServices.com.
Your private hauler
For garbage, food scraps or green waste pickup, contact the private company you hired. The City does not control your private hauler’s garbage schedule.
Confirm it was your correct recycling day, wait until the end of day, check whether the missed item was flexible plastics on a separate route, and look for an oops sticker or sorting issue.

Brush, Yard Trimmings and Green Waste in Maple Ridge
Yard waste is another place where Maple Ridge residents need to choose the right path. The City supports brush chipping and lists green waste disposal options, but municipal curbside food scraps or green waste pickup is not provided as a City service.
Use the City brush program page
The City’s brush chipping page explains local seasonal brush rules, pile requirements and the “no late set-outs or oversized piles” warning.
Use the waste centre green waste area
If you have more green waste volume, the City notes there is a green waste area at the Maple Ridge Recycling and Waste Centre, with tipping fees applying.
Ask your hauler
If you want regular food scraps or green waste pickup at home, ask your private waste provider whether organics or yard waste service is available.
Do not leave branches, grass, soil or yard debris on roadsides, parks, trails or greenbelts. Use the brush program, a private provider or the official waste centre route.
Wildlife, Rain and Early Set-Out Rules
Maple Ridge has wildlife, rain and neighbourhood litter issues that make early set-out risky. The simple habit is to store waste securely, keep recyclables dry and follow the official recycling set-out window.
Not before 5 a.m.
Recycle BC tells Maple Ridge residents not to set recycling out earlier than 5 a.m. This helps reduce wildlife attractants.
Leave recycling out until collected
Different recyclable materials may be collected at different times. Wait until the end of day before reporting a missed pickup.
Follow your hauler’s rule
Private garbage providers may have their own cart, wildlife, lid, bag and time rules. Follow your hauler’s exact policy.
House, Townhouse, Apartment, Strata or Business: Which Maple Ridge Rule Applies?
Property type matters because recycling service, private garbage contracts and multi-family building arrangements can be different.
Recycle BC + private garbage
Use Recycle BC for curbside recycling. Hire a private provider for garbage and food scraps, or take acceptable waste to the waste centre.
Ask property management
Multi-family recycling may use Waste Control Services, and garbage may be arranged by your building or strata. Ask your property manager before calling a residential provider.
Use business-specific service
Commercial garbage, cardboard and recycling may need a private service or separate depot process. Do not assume residential rules apply.
