Low-Volume Producers - SK Recycles

About SK Recycles
- - - SK Recycles is a non-profit organization responsible for managing the recycling of household packaging and paper across Saskatchewan. Working with producers, collectors, municipalities, First Nations, Métis communities, and residents, SK Recycles ensures household materials are collected from households and depots, sorted and responsibly recycled. Our program is funded by over 550 businesses that include retailers, manufacturers and restaurants that supply packaging and paper to Saskatchewan residents, shifting costs away from homeowners.

Businesses supplying less than 1,000 kg of packaging and paper annually to Saskatchewan residents are exempt from registration and reporting requirements. There are also exemptions for businesses with less than $1 million in annual revenue.

Businesses supplying between 1,000 and 5,000 kg of material annually can file a simplified report and pay a flat fee. This relieves eligible low-volume producers of the administrative burden of calculating the weights of packaging and paper supplied to residents of Saskatchewan, then filing a detailed report and paying fees per SK Recycles’ material fee rate schedule.

Businesses that supply more than 5,000 kg are required to submit detailed annual reports.

Low-Volume Reporting

Producers who qualify for one of the low-volume reporting categories should contact Producer Relations before filing a report in the WeRecycle Portal.

For 2024, the following flat fees are available to low-volume producers:

$840 for businesses that supply between 1,000 and 2,499 kg.
$1,760 for businesses that supply between 2,500 and 5,000 kg.

We are committed to respecting the culturally rich history that the land in which we operate holds with the Dakota and Lakota (Sioux), Denesuline (Dene/Chipewyan), Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux), Nakota (Assiniboine), Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree), and Métis communities in stewardship, care and leadership.

We value and respect the unique connection Indigenous peoples have with the natural world and we embrace the opportunity of continued learning and shared experiences in our work of environmental stewardship and partnership.
