SARCAN Recycling

Deposit Beverage Containers

SARCAN accepts all deposit beverage containers for recycling.  When you bring your empty beverage containers to SARCAN, you are refunded the deposit that was paid on the container at the time of purchase.

Household Paint

SARCAN Recycling depots accept used household paint for reusing and/or recycling. If you have leftover household paint, bring it to SARCAN! If it can be reused, we will put it on the paint reuse shelf at the depot for customers to take free of charge. If the paint is not reusable, we will recycle it.

Electronics Recycling

SARCAN Recycling collects end-of-life electronics for responsible recycling at all of its depots in accordance with the Province of Saskatchewan’s Environmental Management and Protection Act. Saskatchewan’s provincial electronics recycling program is managed by the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA), a non-profit association created by electronics manufacturers and retailers. EPRA is funded by Environmental Handling Fees (EHFs) paid upon the purchase of new electronics.

Please note: We do not accept microwaves or other household appliances.
