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.
