   ProcessorsNBTSB contracts with one processor/recycler for the entire Province of New Brunswick. All scrap tires generated by the TSP collection system are transported to Tire Recycling Corporation of Atlantic Canada (TRACC) in Minto, roughly an hour's drive east of Fredericton, the Province's Capital City. TRACC processes more than 750,000 tires annually at its Minto plant. The firm's range of value-added product output includes livestock mattresses, highway pylon bases, noise suppression and safety equipment for industrial applications, as well as construction materials made from recycled plastic/rubber crumb combinations. Using the revenue from environmental fees on tire sales, NBTSB pays TRACC a per unit subsidy to partially defray the cost of initial scrap tire collection and transport, as well as subsequent processing and manufacture of the material into new value-added products. The NBTSB also covers the costs of program administration and detailed financial monitoring of the system, as well as public information/education on the TSP and its operations throughout New Brunswick.New Brunswick Processors Directory |
