Saskatchewan to collect ready-to-serve beverage containers for recycling.
It is the recycling division of SARC, the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation
Centres. Many employees are people with disabilities.

plant, where the collected beverage containers are prepared for shipment
to the recycling companies. There is a processing plant in both Saskatoon
and Regina.

programs are conducted in schools and the wider community. The SPCA helps
