Welcome to the Recycling Council of British Columbia!

The Recycling Council of British Columbia is a multi-sectoral, non-profit, membership driven organization that promotes the principles of zero waste through information services, the exchange of ideas and research.

RCBC is Canada’s longest-serving recycling council. Since 1974 we have led B.C.’s progressive policy of Extended Producer Responsibility programs and other initiatives to find innovative ways to eliminate waste and decrease British Columbia's environmental footprint.
