What We Are Asking
The City of Saskatoon (City) is designing and piloting programs to reduce and divert organic and recyclable waste. Currently waste sorting in public space and at events in Saskatoon is voluntary, resulting in a large amount of organic and recyclable waste being sent to the landfill. Throughout the project we are looking for feedback on:
- The opportunities and barriers for reducing waste, composting and recycling in public space and at events
- How the City can support reducing waste, composting and recycling in public space and at events
- Your interest in participating in pilots to try out different approaches to reducing waste, recycling and composting in public space and at events.
This project is funded in part by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
How You Can Get Involved
From January to October 2025, the City is engaging with the community, event organizers and public space operators to help shape the future Public Space and Event Waste Diversion programs. Feedback, along with best practice research from other cities and internal considerations, will help to inform the development of the pilots as well as the long term approach that will be presented to City Council.
