Founded in 1990 as Metro Vancouver’s first multi-material recycling company, Urban Impact Recycling Ltd., originally known as Project Recycle, began with a single truck and a mission to advance recycling. Over the past 30 years, the company has significantly expanded, now managing over 7,500 pick-up locations from Whistler to Chilliwack.

As a family-owned business, Urban Impact adopts a fresh and innovative approach to waste and recycling management. The company specializes in servicing key industrial, commercial, and government sectors, assisting clients in streamlining waste processes, setting diversion targets, and managing recycling efficiently. With a team of over 215 employees and a fleet of 45 recycling trucks, Urban Impact offers a diverse range of services, including recycling, secure paper shredding, and waste audits.

Urban Impact has invested in a modern Materials Recovery Facility to enhance operations. Their dedication to customer service, safety, and sustainability has led to significant growth and earned them the 2024 Innovation Award at the Safety Pinnacle Awards.
