Description

Recycle BC is pleased to announce the release of two Request for Proposals (RFPs) for Post-Collection Services within British Columbia. It in our intent to partner with successful and qualified respondents to these RFPs for the receiving, processing and/or sorting of residential packaging and paper products (PPP) collected within BC, as early as June 1, 2026. Each successful respondent will become an integral part of an efficient and province-wide PPP transfer and sorting system, aimed at maximizing the value and re-use of recyclables while minimizing redundancy and improving efficiency. Those potential respondents who are interested in submitting a proposal are invited to consider which of the following is best suited to the suite of services they are currently able to provide or wish to provide:

Material Recovery Facility (MRF): a facility within BC that may receive, sort and process curbside, multi-family and/or depot PPP for furtherance to an end market, as designated by Recycle BC. Industry specifications and guidelines, as outlined by Recycle BC, must be met for all end markets.
Receiving Facility (RF): a facility within BC that may receive and consolidate curbside, multi-family and/or depot PPP for furtherance to a MRF, as designated by Recycle BC (these facilities are commonly known as "push and bale" operations).

Recycle BC will conduct this RFP process in a transparent and equitable manner consistent with its vision, mission and values as a trusted environmental advocate and community partner.

If you would like to provide notice to respond to one or both of these RFPs, please contact postcollectionrfp@recyclebc.ca to confirm receipt of this email as well as your intent to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Recycle BC. Any and all communications must be made through postcollectionrfp@recyclebc.ca. Individual emails sent to any team member from Recycle BC will not be considered. Once the NDA is signed by both parties, access to the Data Room, with all pertinent information and forms, will be provided to the respondent(s) as early as Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

NOTE: It is Recycle BC's intent to release a Request for Quotation (RFQ) in the Fall of 2025 for Logistics Services that include but are not limited to: transportation of material from RF to MRF, RF to end market, MRF to end market and all depot pick ups.
