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.

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.
