It’s hard to believe it all started in a backyard shed! Back in 1972, a few dedicated neighbors had a simple but bold idea: that we could do better for our environment and each other by rethinking our waste. What began with a handful of volunteers sorting newspapers has blossomed into a half-century of community partnership, social inclusion, and award-winning innovation. We invite you to take a stroll through our history, from the first “Blue Box” to our Repair Cafés, and see how, one recycled tin can at a time, the people of Maple Ridge have built a greener future together.
Each year, Ridge Meadows Recycling Society holds an Annual General Meeting and produces an Annual Report covering the previous year’s programs, events, and services.
Ridge Meadows Recycling Society’s 2026 Annual General Meeting took place at 6:30pm on THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2026
at The Well, located inside Chances Gaming Centre, 22710 Lougheed Hwy, Maple Ridge, BC
