Sort It Central is a mandatory program. Our priority is to work with everyone to ensure recyclable waste stays out of the landfill. Through public education, we’re working to ensure everyone understands how the program works and how to do their part to protect the environment.
Households that do not properly sort their waste for the program may find their waste is not collected. A sticker will be placed on rejected material to identify the issue. Once the issue is remedied by the resident, the waste will be collected during the next weekly collection period. Waste that is brought to a CNWM site for drop off that has not been properly sorted (for example, garbage that also contains recyclables) will incur an additional fee. See the Fee Schedule.
