Collection If you had your cart out by 7:30 a.m. on your scheduled collection day, submit a Service
Request within two business days. Loraas Disposal Services will collect your recyclables and drop
them off at Emterra Environmental’s facility, located at the Global Transportation Hub in Regina.
Emterra will use an automated, state-of-the-art system to separate and sort the recyclables. Once
the recyclables are sorted and packaged into bales, Emterra will sell the recyclables and give the
City 25 per cent of the revenue. The City’s share of the revenue has been factored into the
recycling fee. The companies that buy our recyclables will use them to make new products. While
there are many uses for recyclable materials, here are some examples: Plastic bottles can become
new containers, fleece jackets, flower pots and plastic lumber. Cardboard can be turned into new
boxes. Paper can be turned into egg cartons. Glass can be used to make fibreglass, abrasive
materials, reflective paint for highways and new glass products. Newspapers can be recycled into
fresh newsprint. Tin can be turned into car parts. Aluminum cans will be back on store shelves as
new cans in as little as 60 days. What Happens to the Recyclables in my Blue Cart? Residential
Glass Recycling Pilot Program Residents of Regina now have two options to recycle glass: Put it in
your curbside Blue Cart Take it to SARCAN The City is partnering with SARCAN Recycling to pilot an
option to recycle non-refundable glass containers, like pickle jars, jam jars and olive oil bottles
to improve Regina’s waste diversion rate. Household glass is still accepted in the curbside Blue
Cart Recycling Program. Glass is a challenging material to recover from the curbside co-mingled
recycling process, as there is some breakage. Glass taken to SARCAN provides another recycling
alternative for residents. Acceptable Items Glass food jars Jam, pickle, peanut and sauce jars
Glass beverage bottles Wine, beer, and any other drink bottles Glass food bottles Olive oil,
vinegar, steak sauce and dressing bottles Unacceptable Items Household glassware Ceramics and
houseware Construction and décor Windows, light bulbs, glass home décor Broken or dirty glass Glass
must be intact and free of food SARCAN Locations Regina Angus, 1601 Angus Street Monday to Saturday
