New Brunswickers now have more recycling options for electronics, including household appliances.
As of Jan. 1, the list of items you can drop off for recycling has roughly doubled in size, according to Karen Ulmanis.
Ulmanis is the New Brunswick program director for the Electronic Products Recycling Association and said this is the first change to the list in nine years.
“People don’t need to second guess anymore, like, ‘What can be recycled?’ You could pretty well look around your home when it comes to anything that’s plugged in and know that it can be recycled.”
