The City of Saint John would like to make residents aware of upcoming changes to curbside recycling collection services. As part of the Province of New Brunswick's recently expanded Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program, management of all curbside recycling collection will become the responsibility of a third-party service provider, beginning May 1.
A non-profit called Circular Materials (https://www.circularmaterials.ca/) is coordinating this EPR expansion. The recycling collection service provider for Saint John is Miller Waste.
What residents need to know about their curbside recycling collection
The change comes as a result 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.
The City has been working with Circular Materials and Miller Waste on the transition of responsibilities and management of the recycling program and will share any updates as soon as they are available.
Before May 1, any questions from the public related to recycling services in Saint John should be directed to Circular Materials:
Phone: 1-877-667-2626
Email: [email protected]
Website: https://www.circularmaterials.ca
As of May 1, all recycling collection inquiries should be directed to Miller Waste including replacement totes, schedules and missed collections. This contact information will be communicated in the coming weeks.
