Recycle BC is a not-for-profit organization responsible for residential packaging and paper product recycling throughout British Columbia, servicing over 1.8 million households or over 99% of BC through curbside, multi-family and/or depot services.

We ensure packaging and paper product is collected from households and recycling depots, sorted and responsibly managed and recycled. Recycle BC provides recycling services either directly to communities or by working in partnership with local governments, First Nations, private companies, and other not-for-profit organizations. 176 communities participate in our recycling collection program and more are serviced by our recycling depots. In 2020 over 200,000 tonnes of material was collected from households and depots.

Our program is funded by businesses, like retailers, manufacturers and restaurants that supply packaging and paper product to BC residents, shifting costs away from homeowners.

Recycle BC is supported in its work by Canadian Stewardship Services Alliance Inc. (CSSA). CSSA is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing support services to stewardship programs across Canada.

Recycle BC was originally launched in 2014 as Multi-Material BC (MMBC).
