Recycling and garbage collection

recycling program and regular garbage collection

A residential recycling program is in place in Edmundston. Get familiar with the program by checking out the calendar for pick-up days and a list of what is and is not accepted in your blue bin. Please note that the blue bins are available at any hardware store. 

Do you have questions about the new garbage and recycling collection schedule? Take a look this bilingual information sheet.

It's important to note that during double collection (trash and recycling) weeks, exceptionally from May to October 2024, the bins must be placed on each side of your driveway, opening towards the street, to facilitate the work of contractors.

For more information, please contact the Public Works Department at 506.739.2103 or via e-mail at requetes@edmundston.ca

special garbage collection

A special garbage removal is held twice a year, during the last weeks of May and October. Please check our annual calendar above for details. All you need to do is place your large items curbside during the designated weeks. Registration is not necessary. 

During all other times, you can get a Tipping Fee Waiver like the one shown at right, which lets you get rid of your larger items at no cost and at the time you see fit. You will need to insure transportation to one of the collection sites. 

You can receive a waiver by CLICKING HERE or by calling 506.739.2119. You can also drop by City Hall and you'll receive one immediately. 

For a slight fee, Gallant Entreprises can pick up your large objects. You must call them directly at 506.739.9390.
