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.
