Recycling collection changes in Saint John
A third-party contractor is taking over curbside recycling collection from the city as of May 1.
The change is part of a new provincial program that sees packaging and paper product producers pay for collection and recycling.
Staff with the city have said the move is expected to save taxpayers between $500,000 and $1 million each year.
Residents who receive curbside recycling collection will have new pickup dates and times under the new program.
No changes will be made to the the types of materials that can be recycled under the new program, and there will be no changes to garbage or compost collection.
As of May 1, Miller Waste Services will look after all recycling collection inquiries, including replacement totes, schedules, and missed collections.
