Recycling Tips

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

SWRC Tip - Construction

Use wood from environmentally certified forests (such as FSC), and fast-renewable materials such as bamboo and straw. Use reclaimed materials like stone. And always think non-toxic, local, reusable, and recyclable.

SWRC Tip - Buying Green

Close the recycling loop by buying items that contain recycled content. There are more of them all the time!

SWRC Tip - Watering the Lawn
