Changes to Waste Collection Schedule for all Town of Salisbury Residents Effective Week of February 3, 2025

Town of Salisbury residents are advised of changes to the waste collection schedule, effective the week of February 3, 2025, for all residents in the Town of Salisbury, including the former Local Service Districts.

As of that week, all waste for residents in the Town will be collected on Thursday. Thursday, February 6, 2025, will be the first collection day under the new schedule, which will also re-start the colour rotation schedule. On that first day of collection, Garbage (Clear) and Organics (Green) will be collected.

With the change in schedule, as of the week of February 3, 2025, one large item (appliance, furniture, etc.) can be collected every other week alongside Garbage (Clear bags). This schedule replaces previous seasonal (Spring, Summer, Fall) bulk waste collections and is in addition to the ongoing Mobile Eco Depots throughout the year. Please note that the collection of bulk waste items may take up to 24 hours depending on the size or type of the item.

These changes are being made in light of the Town of Salisbury transitioning to the Regional Waste Collection contract involving most municipalities in the Southeast Region. This contract will be administered by Eco360, a division of the Southeast Regional Service Commission (who currently also operates the regional landfill).

The following provides an overview of the current schedule by community in the Town and the changes as of the week of February 3, 2025:

To communicate these changes to residents, a mail-out is being sent to all residents in the Town the week of January 13, 2025. Printed copies of the new collection calendar will be available at the Salisbury Town Office in the coming weeks, or by contacting Eco360. Residents are encouraged to download the Eco360 app, where they will receive a push notification on Sunday, February 2, as well as on Wednesday, February 5, to remind them of the changes. Municipal Partners, including the Town of Salisbury, and Eco360 will also be communicating the changes on social media as we approach the changes.

Residents with questions can phone Eco360 at 506-877-1040 or email info@nbse.ca. The Town will also be available to assist residents during the transition period, and appreciates the understanding of residents as the changes take effect.
