A report on savings and service improvements from the City of Saskatoon indicates over $30-million in efficiencies, revenues and additional funding in 2017. Part of that is over $4.5-million in operational efficiencies and additional revenue, $800-thousand in savings from improved Information Technology initiatives, and the big one was Saskatoon Land delivering over $25-million. Greenhouse gas emissions for the City were reduced by approximately 48-thousand tonnes a year, which is the equivalent of taking over 10-thousand cars off the road. Recycling programs diverted just under 28-thousand tonnes of waste from the Saskatoon Landfill, extending its life.
