RCBC Recycling Hotline online
“The Recycling Council of British Columbia is a multi-sectoral non-profit organization promoting the principles of Zero Waste through information services, the exchange of ideas and research.”
The Recycling Council of BC (RCBC) is all about reducing waste. Founded in 1974, RCBC is Canada’s oldest recycling council. From expansion of the beverage container deposit-refund program, to establishing programs for post-consumer paint, pesticides and electronic waste, RCBC has led BC’s progressive policy of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program development.
RCBC members include governments, businesses, non-profit organizations and interested individuals all working towards B.C.’s long-term sustainability. We are proud of who we are, what we’ve accomplished, and where we are heading down the road to Zero Waste.
RCBC promotes the exchange of ideas and information through its annual conference and special events such as Waste Reduction Week.
Each year, RCBC’s Recycling Hotline answers more than 120,000 questions about pollution prevention, recycling and waste reduction.
The RCBC Materials Exchange (MEX), promotes reuse through a network of free-to-use web sites, such as Vancouver.reuses.com and Surreyreuses.com, that offer items and list events, such as garage sales.
