New Brunswick’s Tire Stewardship Program (TSP) operates province-wide, every business day of the year.

The cost of each new tire sold in NB includes an environmental fee. These fees are collected at more than 950 retail tire outlets across the province. The resulting revenue is used to partially subsidize the cost of collecting ‘scrap’ tires anywhere in NB … and making sure they are successfully recycled.

New Brunswick’s TSP recycling system is self-supporting and receives no financial assistance from government.

To ensure continued sustainability for the program in future years, the respective environmental fees applicable to new tires sales required an adjustment effective March 1, 2008.

This marked the first time the fees had changed since New Brunswick’s Tire Stewardship Program (TSP) was introduced 11 years ago.

Such fees must be collected on each new tire sold, including those on new or leased vehicles and equipment. All fees are based on rim size and tire designation, as indicated below.
