Reminder: recycling depots are for residential use only

The City's recycling depots have recently been experiencing higher-than-normal volumes of material, resulting in some bins reaching capacity more quickly than anticipated. Administration is exploring options to address the increased demand at the depots.

Commercial businesses and organizations are reminded that the City’s recycling depots are for residential use only. All businesses and organizations in Saskatoon are required to separate and divert recyclable materials. Businesses are encouraged to access the Recycling Guide for Businesses and Organizations for more information on diversion options at saskatoon.ca/businessrecycling.

Residents can help maximize available depot capacity by flattening cardboard boxes and only dropping off accepted recyclable materials. Unaccepted materials and items left outside of the bins are considered illegal dumping and create additional cleanup challenges and costs. If a depot appears full, residents are encouraged to visit another location or return at a later time.
