Keep New Brunswick Clean!
In an effort to keep our neighborhoods clean, the City of New Brunswick lays down some hefty fines for those who leave their trash on the street side during the week. Fortunately, for RU Living residents only, trash and recycling are taken out on appropriate trash days by RU Living property management, so you don’t have to worry about city fines. Just place your garbage in the trashcans behind your home and let us do the rest! Even though you won’t have to worry about collection, you can check out New Brunswick’s trash and recycling collection schedule here.
