Recycling Tips

The Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council is dedicated to helping the people of Saskatchewan reduce waste.

SWRC Tip - Paint

Measure the area you need to paint, and calculate the square footage (there are paint calculators on-line to help you). Buy only the amount you need.

SWRC Tip - Fluorescent lights

While fluorescent lights can use up to 75% less energy than incandescents, they do contain small amounts of mercury. Be sure to recycle your tubes and bulbs.

SWRC Tip - Hazardous Products

Before buying any product with hazardous symbols on it, see if there's a less or non-toxic alternative. Buy only what you need, and use it all up, or give it to someone to use.
