As part of a kick-off to Waste Reduction Week in Canada, SARCAN recycling launched a new website at an event at Westmount School in Saskatoon. To encourage recycling, the new SARCAN School website has a recycling contest. The students can track the number of beverage containers they recycle at school and there will be prizes for those whose efforts had the most creativity and impact. There are 3 cash prizes of $1,000 each for elementary schools and 2 for high schools. Any school in Saskatchewan can register. Executive director of SARCAN, Amy McNeil, says Saskatchewan residents are among the best at recycling in North America and yet we don’t have strong return rates for cartons so they want to make recycling cartons as popular as other drink containers.
