Education & Outreach
Ridge Meadows Recycling Society is actively involved in servicing the recycling needs of the community and promoting environmental values as we work towards zero waste. As a community organization, we work with the District of Maple Ridge, local school and businesses, other community groups and local citizens to raise environmental awareness and participation in recycling programs. RMRS employees and volunteers can often be found in local classrooms and at community events, teaching the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle along with things we can all do to work towards Zero Waste.
