Notice: Community organizations donate the use of their property to host Recycling Depots. Please help us keep the depot sites clean. When items are left outside the blue bins, it is considered illegal dumping, and individuals may be prosecuted. If you see someone illegally dumping items at a Recycling Depot, please contact us at 738-1212.
Click on each blue bin location, and connect to an external map. Fundy Regional Service Commission is not responsible for the contents of external sites.
Sort your recyclables into two separate containers - Blue Box for Paper & Cardboard, and the Green Box for Plastic, Metal & Milk Containers. Place them loose into the boxes, do not bag your items. The only item that can be in a bag is shredded paper.
Collection Day - Your recycling is collected separately, either in two trucks or in one truck with two compartments. The papers and containers are not mixed together during collection.
Not enough space for your recycling? You can purchase additional recycling boxes (similar size) at local hardware stores, or at the Quispamsis or Rothesay Town office. Don't worry if it isn't green, you can put your containers in a "blue box" just make sure you keep your containers and papers separate. Do not bag extra recycling, use additional boxes.
