What do residents need to know about their curbside recycling collection?

  • As of May 1, collection schedules and curbside collection will be managed and implemented by private contractors. Details about the changes are expected to be communicated by Circular Materials in the coming days.
     
  • The Southwest New Brunswick recycling app, online calendar, and reminder system will no longer be available for determining your pickup days as of May 1, 2024.
     
  • There will be no changes to the types of materials that can be recycled under the new program.
     
  • The change comes because of the Province of New Brunswick’s expansion of the EPR program to paper and packaging under the Designated Materials Regulation and is being implemented in municipalities throughout the province.
