The Ministry of Environment is collaborating with the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council to encourage everyone in Saskatchewan to reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in the landfill this holiday season.
"When waste is managed responsibly, it helps protect and maintain the health and safety of our province and the people that call it home," Environment Minister Dana Skoropad said. "While we encourage people to think big, it doesn't take a lot of effort to make a difference."
Residents can reduce their waste through recycling and composting. The Ministry of Environment has been sharing tips for low or no waste decorating, gift-giving and wrapping and post-holiday clean up on the Saskatchewan Environment Facebook page.
"The trick to reducing waste during the holidays is to think about what we're trying to accomplish – spending time with loved ones, showing appreciation to the people in our lives – and find ways to do that using fewer resources," Waste Reduction Council Executive Director Joanne Fedyk said.
More helpful information and tips about recycling and composting can be found on the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council website at: Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council.
