Use the Zone 2 calendar
Sackville residents should use the Eco360 Zone 2 calendar because Tantramar appears in Zone 2. Do not rely only on a neighbour’s bags because blue and clear weeks alternate.
Green weekly, blue and clear alternate
Green organics bags are collected every week. Blue recyclables are collected every second week, alternating with clear garbage bags.
Miller Waste and Eco360
For weekly pickup questions, Tantramar lists Miller Waste at 506-855-9783. For sorting, disposal and Eco360 facility questions, use Eco360 at 506-877-1050 or the Eco360 app.
On Sunday night, check whether Monday is green + blue or green + clear. If you have a bulky item, only put one qualifying item out on the clear-bag week and keep it separate from regular bags.

Eco360 Three-Bag System: Green, Blue and Clear Bags
Eco360 uses a three-bag sorting system across Southeast New Brunswick. Sackville residents should sort before pickup day because incorrectly sorted bags can be stickered and left behind.
🟢 Green organics bag
Collected every week. Eco360 lists organics such as food scraps, coffee filters and grounds, bones, egg shells, tea bags, yard waste, grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, wood chips, napkins, paper towels, tissue and tobacco.
🔵 Blue recyclables bag
Collected every second week, alternating with clear garbage. Eco360 lists accepted blue bag examples such as metals, paper, cardboard, hard plastic packaging, bottles, milk and juice jugs, cartons, Styrofoam and frozen juice cans and lids.
⚪ Clear garbage bag
Collected every second week, alternating with blue recycling. Clear garbage includes remaining household waste such as cat litter, vacuum bags, wipes, diapers, disposable razors, chip bags, plastic wrap and similar non-recyclable items.
Eco360 says improperly sorted bags may be stickered and left behind for reasons such as wrong bag colour for the week, hazardous waste in the bag, bag too heavy, non-transparent bags, or no effort to properly separate waste.
Sackville Set-Out Rules: What to Do Before Monday Pickup
The easiest way to avoid a missed pickup is to prepare the correct bag colours, keep material sorted, avoid overweight bags and use the proper route for bulky and hazardous items.
Green + blue or green + clear?
Green organics go out weekly. Blue recyclables and clear garbage alternate. The Zone 2 calendar tells you which colour goes with the green bag this week.
Use acceptable bags
Use the correct transparent colour bag for the stream. Do not hide waste in black bags or opaque bags because it can be refused or stickered.
Do not overload bags
Eco360 and Sackville by-law guidance both warn that bags may be refused if too heavy. Keep bags light enough for safe manual handling.

Blue Bag Recycling in Sackville: 2026 EPR and Soft Plastic Changes
New Brunswick’s standardized provincial recycling program affects how recyclables are accepted. Eco360 notes that Circular Materials now decides which materials are accepted in blue bags, what should be brought to depots, and where depots are located.
Clean, empty, accepted packaging
Eco360 lists common blue bag examples such as metal cans, paper, cardboard, boxes, hard plastic packaging, bottles, milk and juice jugs and cartons.

Use designated depots or clear bag as last resort
For soft flexible packaging, use designated drop-off locations or Mobile Eco-Depot options. Eco360 says clear bags may be used as a last resort if residents cannot make it to a recycling depot.

Tantramar now provides a more practical bulky item path than older seasonal-only cleanups. Residents can place one bulky item at the curb every second week alongside regular clear bag garbage.
One item every second week

Tantramar says bulky items should be out by 7 a.m. on collection day and kept separate from regular garbage bags.

Tantramar defines illegal dumping as unauthorized disposal of waste on public or private property, such as leaving garbage in wooded areas, along roadsides or on vacant lots without permission.
