How much will Sask’s new recycling regulations cost you?
Businesses that sell packaged goods or supply printed paper to Sask residents will be required to pay a fee to a company called Multi-Material Stewardship Western (MMSW) to cover the costs of recycling these materials. We don’t know the potential cost to you – so would you sign a blank cheque to MMSW?
If a business introduces any packaging or printed paper into the Saskatchewan consumer marketplace, new laws will require them to measure all of it by weight and pay a still-to-be determined fee to MMSW - a privately owned Ontario-based company.
Businesses will be required to register with MMSW and begin reporting by June 30, 2014. The program becomes effective January 2015.
