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, if you work with a tire retailer and you properly bundle the tires and tubes for processing. See the Bike Tire and Tube Recycling Information sheet to learn how to bundle your tires and tubes.
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.
