Last year, we were able to recover 73.2% of packaging and printed paper in the province. We can increase our rates by educating ourselves to become better recyclers.
We also included recovery rates for the materials we collect in our program. For more details on individual materials, please visit stewardshipmanitoba.org to view our annual report.
