Introduction

Membership in the Saskatchewan Association for Resource Recovery Corp. (SARRC) is made up of 205 first-sellers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers of lubricating oil products in Saskatchewan. SARRC was formed February 12, 1996 to develop, implement and maintain Saskatchewan’s single, cost-effective, province-wide Used Oil Materials Recycling Program.  The Membership expanded to include first-sellers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers of antifreeze; antifreeze and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) containers, effective January 1, 2014.  Oil, antifreeze and DEF are called Prescribed Products in the Regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a First Seller?

Essentially, first sellers are manufacturers, major marketers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers of lubricating oil, oil filters, antifreeze and oil, antifreeze and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sold in containers of 50 litres or less.
