Firearm Disposal or Relinquishment 

Owners who no longer want to keep firearms can dispose of them either by selling or transferring the firearms to a valid license holder in accordance with the Firearms Act, or may turn the unwanted firearms over to the Ridge Meadows RCMP for disposal.

Those owners who need to dispose of their unwanted firearms may call the Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251 for assistance. You can also go to our national Website that explains more about firearms disposal here.
