SKRecycles introduces new recycling options for province

The province-wide household packaging and paper recycling program led by SK Recycles has launched. SARCAN depots are now accepting several materials that were previously hard to recycle. This means residents of Saskatchewan can now responsibly recycle the following items:

• Flexible plastics including plastic bags, zipper-lock pouches and crinkly packages,
• Foam packaging including takeout containers and foam trays.

As a reminder, the City’s curbside and multi-unit recycling programs do not accept flexible plastics or foam packaging. Flexible plastics can jam or damage recycling sorting equipment. Both flexible plastics and foam packaging materials are hard to separate from other recyclable items and could result in other materials no longer being recycled.

We encourage residents to recycle these material types at any SARCAN depot. For more information, visit What Can I Recycle? - SK Recycles or SARCAN Recycling to find your nearest location.
