Waste Reduction Week is reminding everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle.
The event is organized by the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council.
Council spokesperson Joanne Fedyk says “reduce” may be the most important part of recycling.
“The more you can reduce the materials you are using or the more you can reduce buying something, the less you have to recycle later,” she says.
Fedyk says there are more plans to begin recycling food and yard materials in the future.
She also says pilot projects are in place to bring more recycling programs to Saskatchewan’s remote communities in the north.
“These programs are definitely on the list. There are currently a few pilot programs going on as well. This week presents a good reminder of the need to reduce, reuse and recycle waste as we aim to make every week a waste reduction week in Saskatchewan.”
