Curbside Pickup for Homes
Fredericton’s curbside recycling program uses a two-box system.
The blue box is for:
- All plastic containers
- All tin, steel and aluminum food cans.
- Plastic shopping bags
- All refundable beverage containers (except glass)
The grey box is for:
- Newspapers
- Flyers
- Magazines
- Corrugated cardboard and boxboard
- Phonebooks, paperback books and textbooks without windows
- Computer paper
- Scribblers
- Coloured and white bond paper
What you need to know
- The recycling truck collects each box on alternating weeks (grey, then blue, then grey, etc.)
- Place the appropriate box for the week, full, at the curb before 7:00 a.m. on your regular garbage day.
