Did you know?
When you pay the deposit on beverage containers a portion is used to cover the cost of running the program and a portion is deposited into New Brunswick’s Environmental Trust Fund. The Environmental Trust Fund helps fund recycling activities in the province such as Household Hazardous Waste days.
Household Hazardous Waste
Many products we use are considered hazardous waste because they contain corrosive, toxic, flammable ingredients, or materials that react in harmful ways when combined with other materials. These products require special care when being disposed of. Once a year the Regional Service Commission holds a Household Hazardous Waste day where residents can safely and responsibly dispose of these items.
If a product label indicates that it is toxic, corrosive, flammable, indicates caution or warning messages then the products should be treated with care when in use and at time of disposal.
These items do not belong in our landfills!
The following items can be recycled ALL year round.
What is an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program?
In New Brunswick, these are voluntary programs that are led by industries, product manufacturers and brand owners who have come together to implement recycling initiatives for specific products that at the end of their usable life do not belong in landfills.
Some of the products such as electronics can be broken down into components that can be recycled and other components that require special disposal.
What happens to these products?
-
E-waste
E-waste is sorted and sent to an Electronic Products Recycling Association EPRA-approved recycling facility. Hazardous materials will be properly disposed of and other materials such as, metals, plastics and glass will re-enter the manufacturing stream.
-
Tires
Used tires are collected at over 800 local tire outlets and sent to Tire Recycling Atlantic Canada Corporation (TRACC) in Minto, NB. At this recycling facility, the rubber from the tires is re-manufactured into various product such as, safe-play playground surfaces, livestock matting, anti-fatigue matting and roof shingles.
-
Oil & Glycol Recycling
It is easy for you to recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, glycol, and glycol containers in New Brunswick. Recycle NB oversees an industry-led, and financed oil and glycol management plan. SOGHUOMA manages the plan on behalf of the industry. It covers the manufacture, storage, collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal of these products.

Batteries
Collected items are then shipped to Call2Recycle’s responsible recycling partners. The collected materials are sorted into battery types and their makeup. Usable materials such as metals are extracted and recycled into new materials and waste products are safely and properly disposed of.
-
Paint Recycling
Product Care Association, on behalf of Paint Brand Owners, developed a plan for waste paint recycling to meet New Brunswick’s needs. It has a network of over 50 recycling locations in the province where you can take your old paint. Recycle NB ensures that 70% of all the paint collected is turned into new recycled paint products.
