What About Composting?
Composting is a nature's way of recycling organic matter such as fruit & vegetables peelings, leaves & grass clippings and eggshells. It creates a rich, nutrient dense substance that can be used for soil conditioning and crop nutrition.
Curbside compost collection is available directly through Loraas. If you are interested please contact Loraas at 306-721-1000 or visit https://loraasdisposal.com/organics/.

Want to Reduce your Household Waste?
Regardless of family size or lifestyle, there are small changes we can make in our everyday lives to reduce the amount of waste heading to landfills. Simple actions like donating used items or buying second hand, using reusable water bottle, or buying products that come in less packaging can make a big impact.
