Bicycle Tire Recycling Program Overview

Recycle NB developed the bicycle tire and tube recycling program with the help of the Canadian Independent Bicycle Retailers Association, the province’s bike shops, tire retailers and Tire Recycling Atlantic Canada Corporation (TRACC), in Minto, New Brunswick.

There is no cost to bicycle retailers to participate in the program. Please contact Recycle NB to find out how to properly bundle the tires and tubes for processing. 

This is a voluntary program and Recycle NB is paying the costs associated with collecting, transporting and recycling the tires and tubes. Therefore, you do not charge the consumer a fee to recycle old bicycle tire and tubes.
