SARCAN Phasing Out Milk Container Collection

Nov 23, 2015

As of January 1, 2016 milk containers will be obligated to be a part of municipal recycling programs in Saskatchewan. Starting January 1, 2016 SARCAN will begin a six-month phase-out of their milk recycling program.

Milk container recycling will be covered by the Multi-Material Recycling Program (MMRP) operated by the Multi-Material Stewardship Western (MMSW). If you have not already done so, and are interested in receiving money for your residential recycling program, contact MMSW.

Details on signing up for the MMRP are available in the November 16 Urban Update, and details from SARCAN on their phase out of milk container collection is available in this letter.
