I n South-East New Brunswick, the Blue/Green Sorting Program is used to reduce the amount of waste going into the landfill. The sorting program is a way to separate household waste into two categories - green bags for compostable material and blue bags for recyclable and nonrecyclable material. Household Hazardous Waste can be disposed of, FOR FREE, at the mobile HHW unit in the Spring and Fall of each year. Located at the Sussex Transfer Station, 54 McLeod Drive, Sussex, NB.
