Recycling and Waste
Service provided by Loraas Recycle
Saskatoon’s new residential recycling program will help preserve our city’s beauty for future generations to enjoy.
In 2011, the City of Saskatoon collected and recycled more than 7,000 tonnes of paper from our community recycling depots. With our new residential recycling program, we believe we can double that number to at least 14,000 tonnes in 2013.
With your support and participation, we can divert household waste from the landfill and into the recycling system. Let’s all work together to reach our goal.
Questions? Contact Loraas Recycle at 242-2300, or email [email protected]
