While not every waste will be able to be recycled in your area, it is still possible to reduce your solid waste considerably by focusing on the major wastes and by making the changes which are possible locally. For a complete description of the materials which are recyclable in your area, consult Reusing and Recycling in Saskatchewan , a directory which is available from Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management. Fuel Service Area Fuel tanks should be inspected regularly for leakage. If there are leaks, the tank is to be taken out of service and emptied immediately, removed, or be replaced and the contaminated area reclaimed. The cost for this sort of thing becomes greater the longer you wait to deal with it.
Government regulations require that all unprotected storage tanks be upgraded.
Unprotected steel tanks less than 25 years old can be retrofitted with a cathodic protection system to stop rust. Older steel tanks must be replaced with approved tanks. Fiberglass tanks tend to keep their integrity, but must still be checked regularly to make sure they have not begun to leak. Once tanks have been upgraded, regular checks to ensure their integrity will guard against liability resulting from fuel leaks. Accidental spills during refuelling of tanks must be caught by a spill container, or prevented by an overfill valve if it is a tight fill type system.
