Your recycling program

New regulations in New Brunswick shift the financial and operational responsibility for recycling from Regional Service Commissions, entities and First Nations to the organizations that produce and sell packaging and paper.

Circular Materials is the producer responsibility organization that is responsible for implementing and managing the new extended producer responsibility recycling system in New Brunswick.

The transition to this new framework has started on November 1, 2023. During this time, there will be no changes to your collection schedule or the materials you can recycle.

Why Recycle?

By recycling, you make a difference. 

Your recyclables – once collected, sorted and processed – can be used again and again, coming back into your home as another product or packaging! 

By recycling, you help protect our environment and conserve our planet’s natural resources.
