Reprint of Saskatchewan's new Recycling Regulations and what they mean to you



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.
