CIRCULAR MATERIALS Recycling

New regulations in New Brunswick shift the financial and operational responsibility for recycling from municipalities 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. As of May 1, 2024, Circular Materials is now responsible for all recycling in New Brunswick. for more information please visit https://www.circularmaterials.ca/resident-provinces/new-brunswick/
