Recycling FAQ The City of Moncton is no longer responsible for the collection of recyclables (blue bags). Your waste collection schedule, the materials you can recycle, what goes into the blue bag, and the collector have not changed. The change is a result of new provincial regulations that require the producers of packaging and paper to take responsibility for recycling the materials that they produce. Circular Materials is the national organization that will be responsible for the collection of recyclable materials produced by companies that make and sell products (like Costco, McDonald’s, Pepsi, Nespresso, etc.). Visit Circular Materials’ website for more information. Questions about your recycling? Contact Miller Waste at nb [at] millerwaste.ca (nb[at]millerwaste[dot]ca) or at 1-833-644-1163.
