Waste Management

Garbage collection takes place on Wednesdays throughout the Shediac region.

Eco360 is responsible for the collection of curbside waste and the proper disposal of solid waste for even more. Click here to see the contact information for waste collection inquiries (pickup schedules, special or bulky item collection days, issues, etc.).

 

Your waste...

  • Must be placed at the curb or roadside directly in front your property no earlier than 7pm on the day before collection, and no later than 6am on the day of collection, and in a location that will not impede or block pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
  • Will not be collected if it has not been sorted and placed in a bag other than a green, blue or clear transparent bag.
  • For information on waste sorting, please visit the website of Eco360 and the calendar.
  • The maximum weight for the blue or green bags is 20 kg (44 lbs). Blue bags weighing more than 20 kg will not be collected.
  • Must not be placed on a snow bank or in an area where snow or ice has not been cleared in the winter months

 

Date changes for Holidays:

  • Holidays affected by garbage collection: New Year's (January 1st) and Christmas (December 25th)
  • For all other Holidays, garbage collection will take place the day of the Holiday.

 

In the event of a storm, if there's any changes in the garbage pick-up, information will be posted on the website alerts or on the Municipality's Facebook page.

Thanks to Eco360’s new program, residents can now visit any Mobile Eco-Depot event to dispose of their household hazardous waste and bulky items, and not just the one closest to them or in their community.

The Town of Shediac’s branch collection program provides year-round pick up of branches.

Under this new program, residents can contact the municipality by telephone at (506) 532-7000 or e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to schedule a pick-up. Branches will be picked up within ten business days.

Apartment/condo complexes with more than 4 units, and commercial buildings are not included in the Town of Shediac branch collection service and therefore do not qualify for the Branch Collection Program.

Here are some rules to follow:

  • The branches must be on your property, parallel to the street (or laid out with cut ends facing the street).
  • The diameter of the branches shall not exceed 15 cm (6 inches).
  • The number of branches is limited to what can be loaded in the box of a half-ton truck. The municipality may be contacted for additional quantities. Fees may apply in the case of additional quantities.
  • It is preferable to avoid tying branches together, because they are picked up with a chipper.
  • The service is offered up to twice (2) yearly to each household of four (4) units or fewer within municipal boundaries. It is strictly prohibited to place branches curbside on vacant land, or green municipal land.
  • The following items will not be picked up: roots, tree trunks, branches longer than 15 cm in diameter (6 inches), vines or bamboo. These items can be dropped off at the Solid Waste Commission located at 100 Bill Slater Drive, Berry Mills, NB. (www.eco360.ca).

The Town of Shediac follows the 3-Stream Program. The program involves the separation of recyclable waste, which is placed in transparent blue bags, organics waste, which is placed in transparent green bags and garbage, which is placed in transparent clear bags. To find out which bag in which to place your garbage, consult the website www.eco360ca. This site is managed by the Southeast regional service commission as this is the organisation responsible for managing the area’s solid waste.

Large waste and bulky items like household appliances, furniture, large electronics, large toys, etc., are not suitable for your regular household waste.
You can dispose of one item a week, alongside your clear bags.
 
Alternatively, you can dispose of these materials at Eco360’s Solid Waste Facility (see fees), or at our Mobile Eco-Depot (see calendar). 

Christmas trees are collected on the two first Fridays of January. Residents can also bring their Christmas trees to the John Lyons Park parking lot, located at the corner of Centennial Street and Pleasant Street.

Place your yard waste and leaves at curbside in clear green bags on your regular garbage day. Each bag must weigh no more than 20 kg (44 lbs). Please note that Fero collects up to three (3) bags of yard waste/leaves per weekly garbage collection and that any extra bags are picked up by Town of Shediac employees in the following days.

This year's collection period will be announced shortly.

Avoid bagging! Did you know that grass clippings serve as an excellent fertilizer for your lawn? Think about it. Every bag spared from collection helps reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that we produce! Furthermore, why not try composting? Your children and grandchildren will thank you!
