Who is MMSW?
In February 2013, the Saskatchewan government introduced the Saskatchewan Recycling Regulation that shifts 75% of the net costs associated with the collection and recycling of waste packaging and paper from municipalities and taxpayers to the businesses that sell or distribute packaged goods and paper to Saskatchewan residents.
Program Implementation is January 1, 2015.
MMSW is the not-for-profit organization authorized by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment to fund up to 75% of a packaging and paper recycling program on behalf of Saskatchewan businesses.
If your business is obligated under the Regulation, we invite you to register with MMSW, and as a member, report the quantity of materials you supplied to Saskatchewan residents in 2013.
What data do I have to report?
Businesses must report the quantity of packaging and paper supplied to Saskatchewan residents in 2013. Please click here for a list of the materials that are obligated by the Regulation. This program specifically covers packaging and paper products supplied to Saskatchewan householders that will be managed through the residential recycling system.
Why do I have to report by June 30th if the program starts in January 2015?
MMSW requires this data from all businesses by June 30th in order to have sufficient time to establish a fee schedule that shares the costs of the program fairly amongst all participating businesses. The fee schedule will be available in the fall and MMSW members will be invoiced beginning in January 2015.
There are resources already available to stewards to help in the preparation of steward reports. This includes the National Guidebook - Part 2 which has instructions on how to prepare a report. Please also see the Portal User Guide which will help stewards navigate the WeRecycle Portal where stewards will submit their report. The Steward Services team is also ready to help you should you have additional questions after the webinar.
