Recycling programs in Saskatchewan will receive a total of $1.25 million from the province's Go Green Fund until a province-wide Multi-Material Recycling Program is implemented.
"We are working to expand recycling opportunities throughout Saskatchewan," Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. "This bridge funding will help existing recycling programs continue to provide their current services while the new program is being established."
The $1.25 million is being provided to the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres (SARC) and the Association of Regional Waste Management Authorities of Saskatchewan (ARWMAS) based on their estimated recycling volumes.
"We are pleased to once again to partner with the Ministry of Environment in delivering this much-needed funding," SUMA President Allan Earle said. "The Municipal Recycling Bridge Funding Program is an example of urban and provincial leaders working together to provide an interim solution to sustain recycling infrastructure."
The three organizations will distribute the money as grants to their recycling affiliates:
"On behalf of the 18 SARC Members who recycle paper and cardboard, we sincerely appreciate the continued commitment of the Ministry of Environment to recyclers in our province," SARC and SARCAN Executive Director Amy McNeil said. "Funding will ensure service to Saskatchewan residents continues and that recycled materials are moved to market, even at a time when the cost for transportation is high and the salvage value of recyclable material remains low."
"Recycling of household materials is vital in protecting the environment and the continued operations of regional recycling programs are essential," ARWMAS Chairperson Wally Lorenz said. "ARWMAS thanks the Ministry of Environment for their work in developing the Multi- Material Recycling Program and looks forward to the implementation of this program in the near future."
The Ministry of Environment continues to work with the waste reduction industry and stakeholders on plans for a province-wide Multi-Materials Recycling Program. Such a program would eliminate the need for government funding to support municipal recycling.
