Sponsor of the Month

The Children's Discovery Museum is proud to have Loraas and All Green Recycling as our Sponsor of the Month for May!

Loraas Disposal is Saskatchewan's largest waste and recycling service provider, and All Green Recycling, a division of Loraas Disposal, is one of the largest and only full service recycling centers in Saskatchewan. Loraas and All Green have been proud supporters and contributors of the community for over 40 years and are very pleased to support this effort in particular.

All Green is very excited to have just launched a residential curbside recycling program in Saskatoon on March 1. They will operate the most advanced recycling system in Western Canada, with state-of-the-art sorting equipment that allows single-stream recycling by its customers, which means they can put paper, glass, plastics, in one bin that is picked up by All Green.

More information on the All Green Recycling program: New Twist to Recycling.

Want to sign up for All Green's $8/month no-sort curbside recycling? Click here! Be sure to tell them you learned about it from the Children's Museum.
