Find Your Fredericton Pickup Day, Blue or Grey Week and Correct Dump Option
Fredericton garbage is collected weekly according to one of five address zones. Use the City map for your weekday, the official 2026 PDF for the Blue or Grey recycling stream, and the CRSC landfill only after checking its hours, fees and material rules.
Quick Answer: Fredericton Garbage Collection Schedule
There is no single citywide Fredericton collection day. Your exact weekday comes from the official five-zone map. Garbage is weekly; Blue and Grey recycling alternate on that same weekday.
Find your street zone
Zoom into the City map and record the weekday assigned to your civic address.
Check Blue or Grey
Use the 2026 PDF. The colour week determines which recycling materials go out.
Be ready by 7:00 a.m.
Route times can change. Do not wait until you hear the truck nearby.
Use CRSC when needed
Furniture, renovation debris and other non-curbside material may require Alison Boulevard.
“What day?” requires the zone map. “What goes out today?” requires both the map and Blue/Grey PDF. “Where can I dump this?” requires the item type, landfill hours and fee rules.

Fredericton Garbage Collection Schedule 2026 PDF: How to Read It
The downloadable 2026 document is a recycling calendar, not an address-zone map. It identifies Blue and Grey weeks from late 2025 through January 2027. Your weekday still comes from the City map.
Containers and metal packaging
- Plastic containers numbered 1–7
- Tin, steel and aluminum food cans
- Milk cartons
- Foil plates
Paper and cardboard
- Newspapers, flyers and magazines
- Paper and envelopes
- Cardboard and boxboard
- Paperback books and cardboard egg cartons
An old calendar can reverse the alternating stream. Use the current City-hosted PDF linked below for every 2026 recycling date.
Fredericton Garbage Collection Holiday Schedule
Regular garbage collection normally continues on holidays. Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are the standing exceptions, and the City publishes replacement dates for affected routes.
Use the normal weekday
Collection generally continues, but the truck may arrive at a different time. Material still needs to be ready before 7:00 a.m.
Check the City notice
Do not assume a standard one-day delay. Use the specific replacement date published for the affected year.
Check the City notice
Garbage and recycling replacement information may be posted separately from ordinary holiday hours.
The recycling calendar moves Friday, December 25, 2026 to Saturday, December 26, and Friday, January 1, 2027 to Saturday, January 2. Confirm garbage changes through the City before using those dates for garbage.
CRSC is closed Sundays and listed holidays even when City curbside collection is operating normally.
Fredericton Garbage Set-Out Rules That Prevent Rejection
Use a suitable watertight bin
- Handles and a properly manufactured lid are required.
- Non-wheeled capacity: 75–120 litres.
- Wheeled or dolly capacity: 240–360 litres.
- The City does not provide residential garbage bins.
Stay within size and weight rules
- Accepted capacity: 50–120 litres.
- Maximum weight: 50 lb per bag.
- Keep dangerous or sharp material safely contained.
- Do not hide hazardous waste inside household garbage.
Set out before 7:00 a.m.
Collection routes may run earlier or later than usual. A late bag is treated as a missed set-out, not necessarily a missed route.
Make it safely accessible
Do not hide material behind a snowbank, parked vehicle, renovation bin or other obstruction.
Read the orange notice
The sticker should identify the problem. Correct the container, weight or material issue before the next collection.
Furniture, construction and demolition debris, batteries and household hazardous waste require a different route. Hot ashes must cool for several days before disposal.
Missed Fredericton Garbage or Recycling Pickup
Use the contact responsible for the stream. City garbage and Circular Materials recycling do not use the same complaint path.
Check before contacting the City
- Correct zone and weekday
- At the curb before 7:00 a.m.
- No unsafe weather delay
- Eligible material and acceptable weight
- No orange rejection sticker
If the route was missed, contact Service Fredericton.
Contact FERO
- Confirm Blue or Grey week.
- Check that material was clean, dry and loose.
- Check container access and 7:00 a.m. timing.
- Describe any sticker or rejected item.
“My address is [address]. My regular weekday is [day]. The material was accessible before 7:00 a.m. and followed the rules. Was my route delayed, completed or rejected?”
The City advises storing it until the next scheduled date or bringing accepted material to the CRSC landfill. Check fees before choosing the landfill option.

Fredericton Landfill Fees for 2026
CRSC charges by material type and, in many cases, weight. The lower construction and demolition rate applies only when the material is properly separated.
CRSC lists debit, cash and VISA. Ask about the likely charge before renting a vehicle, hiring a hauler or travelling with a small but unusual load.

Prevent a wasted trip
- Confirm the facility is not closed for a holiday.
- Check Christmas Eve or special closure notices.
- Secure loose material for road travel.

Fredericton Waste Decision Helper: Where Does My Item Go?
Choose the closest item type. The result gives the most likely route and the section to check before taking action.
Furniture, Mattresses, Appliances and Construction Debris
Donate or take to CRSC
Fredericton does not list household furniture as regular curbside garbage. Donate usable pieces or confirm landfill disposal.
Do not leave it at the curb
Ask a retailer, property manager or CRSC about the correct current disposal route before moving it outside.
Metal may be diverted
Scrap metal and appliances may use the recovery area. Fridges and freezers can require the CFC fee.
Clean construction and demolition material
- Concrete and brick
- Untreated wood
- Siding, ceiling tile, gyprock and insulation
- Asphalt shingles and aged asphalt
- Doors, windows and attached floor coverings
- Toilets, bathtubs, sinks and plumbing fixtures
- Household garbage
- Pressure-treated or creosote timber
- Petroleum-contaminated soil or products
- Light ballasts
- Friable asbestos
- Material from fire, flood or contaminated structures
CRSC directs gyprock to the construction and demolition area. Do not mix it with household garbage in the same load.
Fredericton Recycling Rules for Houses and Apartments
Circular Materials manages the recycling programme, and FERO handles collection questions. Blue and Grey streams alternate weekly on the same weekday as garbage.
Clean, dry and loose
- Quickly rinse containers.
- Allow material to dry.
- Leave lids and labels on.
- Flatten cardboard and remove plastic liners.
- Cover Grey paper during rain or snow.
It does not have to match the stream colour
- Use a suitable 45–60 litre container.
- The container itself may be any colour.
- The contents must match Blue or Grey week.
- Circular Materials or FERO may provide bins in some cases.
Normal Blue and Grey curbside recyclables are not meant for local redemption-centre bins. Specific materials excluded from curbside—such as eligible glass, white foam and flexible plastic—can use participating locations.
On-site recycling is required
Community recycling bins were phased out at the end of 2025. Ask the landlord or property manager about the building’s on-site service.
Prepare it for the property type
Small-building residents can cut or fold oversized cardboard. Larger buildings generally use the designated Grey dumpster.
Never hide them in recycling
Batteries can cause fires and injuries. Use an approved battery or household hazardous-waste drop-off.
Fredericton Yard Waste Collection Schedule 2026
Yard waste is collected on your normal garbage weekday only during the published collection week. Material left outside those weeks is not collected.
Use compostable paper bags
- No plastic bags.
- No loose leaves at the curb.
- Do not rake leaves into the gutter.
- Keep yard waste separate from garbage and recycling.
Size and bundle branches
- Maximum diameter: 5 cm or 2 in.
- Maximum length: 1.5 m or 5 ft.
- Tie small bundles with natural twine.
- Keep brush separate from bagged leaves.
Municipal Soil Management Facility
Seasonal 24/7 facility
The Vanier Industrial Park site operates seasonally between April and November. It opened for the 2026 season on April 3.

Lumber, construction debris, oversized branches, diseased ash or elm branches, logs, stumps, plastic bags, household garbage and kitchen scraps.
Paint, Batteries, Propane and Household Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste includes corrosive, toxic, flammable or reactive products. Do not pour it down a drain or place it in regular garbage or recycling.

Saturday: 7:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

Leftover versus dry empty can
Leftover paint uses an approved paint programme or HHW. The City says empty dried paint cans may go in garbage.
Call about unusual waste
CRSC lists biomedical waste, liquid waste over 20 litres and sludge below 15% solids as unacceptable.
Special Items That Need a Different Disposal Route
Does the Same Fredericton Collection Rule Apply to My Property?
Use City curbside service
Eligible single and double housing units normally follow the five-zone map.
Confirm truck access
Eligible properties need suitable containers and safe collection-truck access.
Garbage may use curbside service
The City includes eligible apartment buildings with four or fewer units.
Use building recycling service
Ask the property manager where on-site recycling and garbage are collected.
Check before move-out
Furniture, mattresses, electronics and renovation waste should not become an unapproved curb pile.
Do not assume City service
A Fredericton mailing address may use a rural district, another municipality or a private hauler.
