Published purpose

The New Organics Processing Facility Project in the City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan aims to develop a 40,000-tonne-per-year organics processing facility to meet the city's growing needs. This facility will process organic waste from the city’s Green Cart Program (a multi-unit organics programme) and yard waste from drop-off sites. Located south of the city's municipal landfill, the project will use an aerated static pile composting system to produce high-quality compost, reducing methane emissions and extending the landfill's lifespan. The compost will enhance parks, community gardens, and residential landscapes. This project will enable 55,100 new housing units, while delivering significant environmental benefits and cost savings to, and improved waste management infrastructure for, the City of Saskatoon.
