Recycling programs in Saskatchewan will receive a total of $1.5 million from the province's Go Green Fund.
"The development of a province-wide paper and packaging recycling stewardship program continues to be a priority for this government," Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. "This funding will help sustain existing paper and fibre recycling programs until the Multi-Material Recycling Program is implemented."
The $1.5 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.
"SUMA appreciates the continued commitment the provincial government has shown through its ongoing support of this essential program," SUMA President Allan Earle said. "This underlines the necessity and benefit of urban-provincial partnering and should continue to sustain recycling infrastructure within the province in the interim, until the provincial program is implemented."
The three organizations will distribute the money as grants to their recycling affiliates:
"Eighteen SARC members recycle paper and cardboard in their communities and surrounding areas and this makes up a significant portion of the waste stream in our province," SARC and SARCAN Executive Director Amy McNeil said. "The continued commitment of the Ministry of Environment will ensure that these materials are moved to market in light of the challenges related to the high cost of transportation and salvage market instability."
"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."
A stewardship based province-wide Multi-Material Recycling Program is expected to be implemented in the near future.
