The Town of Shaunavon is taking a step forward in re-cycling in the community.

The Town has entered into a contract with Triways Disposal Services Limited to provide single stream recycling service to each residence in Shaunavon, at no charge, beginning this October.

Shaunavon Town Administrator, Tara Fritz, says, "We think it's gonna be more efficient and easier for people to use. We think there's gonna be more environmental benefits as we're hoping that more people will divert more material into the re-cycling versus the landfill."

Fritz says the Town is currently working with Triways to set up a pick up schedule and more details, including a brochure from Triways, will be available soon to residents.

As of October 31st the Sarcan Depot in Shaunavon will no longer accept paper. They will continue to be the drop off point for cans and bottles. And the Southwest Waste Management recycling bins will still be available for use at the south end of Center Street.

The re-cycling bins will be distributed to Shaunavon residents the first part to the middle of October.
